A twist on Freedom of Association

In recent years, many "conservative" groups have been sued for discrimination, and defended themselves with claims to their right of Freedom of Association.  The Boy Scouts being a prime example.  In general, the left has sided with those claiming discrimination, the right with the group.

Now here's a case that turns the traditional story on it's head.  The North American Gay Amateur Athletic Association (NAGAAA)  has deprived a largely gay softball team of it's glory for "not being gay enough".  Links (in no particular order) here, here, here, a link with some commentary here.

It will be interesting to see if conservatives rise in support of the NAGAAA, and if liberals support the team.
