Re: On the other hand,

ex ipso facto, the agreement was made in 1928. before that law came into existance. you can't make the past illegal except in certain circumstances.

secondly the state law is trumped by federal law. remeber articale 7? the boy scouts of america are immune from that because they are a private organization. yes its federal only, but state law can only go above and beyond the natrual protection of the federal law, not in contradiction to it. and to let you know New York state is one of only a handful of states that actualy recognises and protects the rights of different sexual orientations, but only in a limited way.

and besides the boy scouts of america will always be descriminatory and as such by your logic will never be able to get their property back. or what about the girls scouts of america? what about ethnic clubs? (like the son's of italy) should they also be banned from recieving special considerations from the city? the list can go on and on and on of the groups that are naturally discriminatory in their practices.
