I never said they would be expelled.  I said they do not meet the eligibility requirements to be a Scout.  The only way an avowed homosexual can both understand and agree to live by the Scout Oath and Law is to lie.  Of course, he is also violating his promise to be Trustworthy in the process. He does not meet the eligibility requirements to be a Scout.  He intentionally violates the Scout Oath and Law, and he intents to continue violating the Scout Oath and Law.  But he could join and remain in Scouting nonetheless, by telling lies.  I imagine, at any given time, there are thousands of Scouts who are regularly violating the Scout Oath and Law, who intend to continue doing so, and still remain in Scouts.  But that doesn't change the fact the Scout Oath is what it is, that BSA believes that homosexual behavior violates the Scout Oath, and that these Scouts are not qualified to be Scouts.

""the First Amendment simply does not require that every member of a group agree on every issue in order for the group's policy to be 'expressive association'."" ""the courts may not interfere on the ground that they view a particular expression as unwise or irrational"" and ""beliefs need not be acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible to others to merit First Amendment protection""

The fact that many Scouts disagree with BSA beliefs, ignore BSA beliefs, disobey BSA beliefs, or that anyone finds BSA beliefs to be inconsistent, irrational, or unwise, does not take away BSA's right to assert and hold their beliefs.(  )"
