Discrimination or Anti-Discrimination

This sort of thing always makes me question what discrimination is. Can you discriminate against a heterosexual organization for discriminating against homos? Can you exclude homosexuals from private endeavours? Apparently (see Boy Scouts).

    Tempest, meet teapot. This would be a waaaay bigger deal if someone who wanted to compete wasn’t allowed in because she was married to a woman. Then holler all you want. I understand why he’s doing it, but come on Tom, pick your battles.

    No, I think it’s good to start small so that you have a history of doing any given thing. Sets a precedent, nahmean?

    Kudos to Tom Potter. Small choices like this help establish a precedent.
