Thinking aloud here. Bear with me; I don't necessarily have an answer for any of these questions.

Do BSA or GSA receive tax funds?
Does United Way have the right to refuse to fund BSA because of BSA's policy vis-a-vis gays?
Does BSA have a right to determine who they want to allow to join?
If they excluded blacks or Jews, would that be okay?
Do people who "disapprove" of homosexuality have the right to write letters to GSA?
Will GSA really change its policy due to the number of letters pro- or con- that it receives?
What role, if any, does the government have in telling private individuals or groups what to do?
Is BSA a religious organization?
Should it be?
If it is, does this change what the gov't can force it to do?

So far the discussion has been rather civil; I hope we are able to keep it that way.
