BSOA is not an LDS organization. 1/4 of BSOA members happen to be LDS because most LDS congregations sponsor a troop, and the LDS church donates a lot of money to BSOA.

As far as the LDS/Christian labels... I think an analogy to this is how the Mormons look at the term marriage. They think the term marriage should be preserved in its long standing traditional form, between man and woman. Mainstream Christians® don't like Mormons being called Christians because the Mormons don't profess or hold the same creeds as the mainstream group. In those two situations it seems more about maintaining the common perception and understanding of words and avoiding the culture wars that comes when you start to hijack and undercut and slyly mix up words, institutions and languages.

But I'm with martian. Send the homosexuals and their money Northward!
