Privatly funded organisations can set their standards however they want.



Only by publicly funded organisations should equality be obliged to follow standards which give equal rights to everyone.

I kinda agree with that as long it is organisations which we REALLY wouldn't join, like "Westboro Baptist Church", "Mormons", hate groups and all extremist religious organisations

Basically what Germans said. Public institutions have a responsibility to be open to every member of society (since they are supported by every member of society). Private institutions do not have that responsibility.

Sometimes that is used to violate anti-hate law and anti-slander

I don't believe anti-hate laws should even exist. Non-discrimination by the public sector should be the limit. Any other laws violate freedoms of people who hold views and beliefs. There should be no law broken when a racist remarks that they hate all black people, but there should be laws against actions based on those remarks or beliefs. Inciting people to hatred and inciting people to act on hatred are entirely different things.
