This is a great WTF article, e.g. "The National Center for Lesbian Rights, which represented the men ..."

They were easy to identify on the ball diamond. The other team asked them to bat for them, and they refused.

Heh, "straight ringers." Because everyone knows the gays can't play sports.

Because everyone knows the gays can't play sports.

In this case, I think it's more like switch hitters have an unfair advantage.

NAGAAA. How do you say, "NAGAAA"?

Anyways, I'm glaad the organization ended up paying the players.

So do these guys play for another team or not?

I live in SF, am a straight dude, and was invited to play on another team in this league (I couldn't make the games, but hey, I was invited). I look at this as either, a) reinforcing that stereotype that gay means sissy, and b) outright discrimination from gays. And a bunch of gay dudes agree.

Either way, it's stupid...I don't see how they ever got banned, I read the league rules and there were allowances for straights/bis.

You should have to suck a dick in public to play in a Gay Softball League, it's the only way to be sure.

NAGAAA Please!

Listen, if straight men can go off and die for their country or stay married to the same woman for more than a year, they should have the right to play on gay softball teams.

When were you born gay?

In Gay Leagues it is customary to give your teammate a handjob for hitting a double, if you are not willing to extend a hand then you have no place on the team.

I don't understand how the judge ruled that straight people (beyond the limited 2) being ineligible works. It's discrimination. Would it be allowed if a softball team had a limit on two gay people on the team? All about being seen as the same I thought.

That's so gay.

i disagree. I know gays who don't don't do that, and straight who love it. It means nothing.

Nope, not discrimination. SCOTUS has ruled repeatedly that Americans have the constitutional right of free association via the first amendment. You have the right to associate or not associate with whomever you wish.

Should the NAACP be forced to allow KKK members to join their organization? Should the ADL be forced to allow neo-nazis to join theirs? Kinda extreme examples, but it is perfectly legal to NOT associate with someone or a certain group if you do not wish too.

Yeah, I'm with BroVinny on this one. If you enjoy sucking dick, your gay. Or at least bi.

Ow! That was my feelings!: Nope, not discrimination. SCOTUS has ruled repeatedly that Americans have the constitutional right of free association via the first amendment. You have the right to associate or not associate with whomever you wish.

Then how come it is discrimination that boy scouts doesn't want gay boys/scout leaders? I guess there is the question of legality vs. whether or not it is right. Just use the sniff test, flip the parties in question to their opposite. If that is wrong (though not illegal) so is the original.

//You're right though and I was wrong. Sometimes I confuse right vs. legal. I would have used the KKK not allowing black members as a better example.

Funny when whites try to keep out jews/blacks/gheys since they dont want to associate with them they end up getting smacked down saying its illegal, so you are amazingly wrong or you are just trolling.

Yeah there is no grey area here, either you suck dick or you do not suck dick so they cant be straight.

even though the organization considered bisexual players to be gay for roster purposes

There's something hilarious about that .

If I want to start a private club that only allows big breasted blondes that like cigars and whiskey, I have the right to discriminate against flat chested brunettes that are teetotaling, anti-smokers. It might not be fair, but it's my club and have the legal right to discriminate in that narrow way.

//yeah, my examples are sucking tonight

The short and overly simple version is, a business may not exclude people on the basis of a prohibited classification and a non-business may. For example, the Supreme Court shot down Boston's attempt to force a parade to include a gay group. The parade was protected speech and not commercial in nature.

My problem with that is you end up having small lobbying groups that then try to force a boycott to force people to bend to their whims.

I also fail to see how a softball league is commercial in nature.

It is not a quesiton of free association. It is more of a question of can you use tax payer provided facilities to do so. Yes, the Boy Socuts can exclude the gheys but they also find themselves increasingly prohibited from using tax payer financed facitlies and government sponsorships because of it.

The Ghey softball leagues no doubt use tax payer financed facilties for their games which brings their discrimatory rules into question. If thery used their own facilties nobody would have a legititmate gripe.
