Since the GLO's are considered as private organizations, they have the right to only include members of a certain sex. I think that discrimination on the basis of sex would be determined if an organization were to allocated taxpayer monies. Since private organizations are not given tax dollars, then they could do whatever they want. Moreover, I think that the constitution guarentees our right to freedom of association and assembly. So if a private group only wants one kind of person, then hey...
But, it is illegal for a "private" university to discriminate if it is procuring funds from the government. This is what is getting some of these military schools into trouble.
I am not a lawyer. But I think that discrimination on the basis of sex and race is getting much more difficult to prove. On the basis of "he said" and "she said" is no longer valid.
