Where was the BSs respect for the rights of gay people from the begining?
What rights? It's a private organization with every right to restrict their own membership. But if you want to exercise your right to protest their decision by any and all legal means, you have that right too. BOTH sides have rights. To try to claim otherwise is going straight back to the beginning where if X disagrees with Y, X is automatically some kind of intolerant censoring villain. Crazy stuff.
