Homosexuality (Intelligent Responses Only)

I have a question. Before I ask this question, I would like intelligent dialect only. If you have ignorant, closed-minded, or "gay bashing" remarks, please don't waste your time typing them. It's a shame that you have to still do this in 2005...any way.

I work for the Boy Scouts of America. I am a program aide and I currently have 4 groups of cub scouts that I run the meetings for. I was recently informed that homosexuality is outlawed in the Boy Scouts. I was floored. Of course a million questions popped up in my head, but one of which was the legality of the matter. How can you legally say that a person can not be a member of an organization b/c of their sexual preference. There have been numerous lawsuits against the BSA about this, but BSA won b/c they are a private org. and can deny who they please. ( I know I'm not saying that right, but that was the idea of it) Anyway 2 questions emerge...

1.) Can APO legally (if they wanted to) deny membership based on sexual preference?

2.) We are based off of the principles of the BSA would this effect on us? I don't think the founders every made a statement on it, so I'm not asking what they would think. We share so much in common with the BSA and I was wondering if this was one of those things. Like has the issue every been addressed?
