It defies understanding, from our perspective. One can speculate, one, that the ACLU has been captured by the homosexual-rights movement, and so therefore they are attacking the Boy Scouts and friends of the Boy Scouts as a way of punishing us for having rights that the Supreme Court has affirmed. The other thing that is interesting is that they're attacking our friends. They go after our relationships with the Defense Department, with schools and school boards - and they sue those people, but they don't sue us. They think maybe that's a way of hurting us and hurting our friends for having relationships with us.
