Roger,

Maybe you missed Andreas's last post, which makes the point clearer. 
He writes (to Gary):

"I just find it utterly, gobsmackingly amazing, Gary, that you would
demand the admittance of people who espouse killing gays into a
gay-focused club. I don't think that warrants any more than a single
sentence."

Don't you think that there is reason to exclude a group which as explicitly 
admitted that the killing of gays and lesbians is biblically justified from a
meeting run by gays and lesbians?

How much threatening abuse should this group have to tolerate, on your 
understanding of rights?

You are trying to compare apples and orange.  A private club operating on private property and supported by private funds can admit or prohibit anyone they want. A group that is sponsored by a government enity, meets on government property, and is supported by taxpayers should be open to anyone who wants to attend, so long as they are not disruptive. Just being present is not disruptive.They obviously can not vote on any issue unless they are members. They can speak if  recognized by the chair.
