The Boy Scouts of America continue to have the position that private bigotry and discrimination shouldn't justifiably come with any social or political costs. They further insist that by discriminating against gays and atheists and by depicting them as morally inferior, they continue to serve the public good.
If the Boy Scouts engaged in similar bigotry and discrimination against other groups like Jews, Hispanics, Catholics, or liberals, there's no way that public agencies or charitable organizations would continue to support or help them. This is because it's generally accepted that discrimination against those groups is harmful; people don't yet quite understand that the same is true about discrimination against gays and atheists.
