I think this definition is more accurate:
Main Entry: 1peer
Pronunciation: \ˈpir\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French per, from per, adjective, equal, from Latin par
Date: 13th century
1 : one that is of equal standing with another : equal; especially : one belonging to the same societal group especially based on age, grade, or status.
All other variables being equal, a young man who is gay would be a peer to the other scouts.
gays are by definition not Christians. Sure some pretend they are, but they are not. Therefor the BSA have a legitimate claim that gays are NOT in the same societal group as them.
You might have a point if the BSA excluded Jews, Hindus and Muslims.
They don't....so you don't.
Jews, Hindus, and Muslims ALL share the Christian value that homosexuality is wrong, so in that societal group, they fit in.
