My undersatnding of many of these types of organizations is that they have a
set of by-laws (sp?) that can be ammended through different processes.  This
would usually be done by a vote of a certain percentage of members or officers.
There is no reason why they couldn't institute any non-discriminatory (as
defined by state and federal law) act or law upon the membership.  The "victim"
has no recourse except leaving the organization.

BTW, even if your statement was true (which I obviously don't think it is)
what about the organizational type you left out that DOES do this, trade
unions?
