Gay Boy

Should the Boy Scouts of America and other noncommercial associations have a right to discriminate when selecting their members? Does the state have a legitimate interest in regulating the membership practices of private associations? These questions - raised by Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Scouts had a right to expel gay members - are at the core of this provocative book, an in-depth exploration of the tension between freedom of association and anti-discrimination law.
