Like you said, whether you agree with the position or not, if they are allowed to discriminate against protected classes (no girls), who the hell is the state force the organization to accept people from unprotected classes?

Also, the targeted attack by the legislature will easily (though expensively) be overturned as it directly violates the US Supreme Court's ruling in 2000 that the private organization can lawfully discriminate.

What's next, a quota on the diversity of whom private individuals are friends with? "Mr JD, we noticed that you have a variety of white, black and asian friends. However, you are two friends short on your latino ratio. You're going to have to pay a additional 5% penalty fine tax."
(Yes, I know the example is extreme and ridiculous.)
