Description
Summary:The court found all of these arguments to be insufficient, especially in light of the association's mission statement celebrating inclusiveness and promotion of amateur competition "for ail persons regardless of age, sexual orientation or preference, with special emphasis on the participation of members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community." The association's "promot[ion of] amateur sports competition, particularly Softball, for all persons regardless of age, sexual orientation or preference, with special emphasis on the participation of members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community," "committment] to helping our community," "promotion of] the idea of athletic competition and good physical health in support of the gay lifestyle," and "striving] for high standards of sportsmanship and conduct to attain fair play on and off the field" were sufficiently similar activities and goals to those previously endorsed by the Supreme Court.
