 | | Although the Eagles' local organizations are authorized to offer disability and death benefits to their members, the Eagles generally appear to offer more civic and social benefits and fewer economic or business advantages than the Lions offered. |
 | | The Eagles are not, at least for purposes of this case, a "bona fide club or accommodation which is in its nature distinctly private." Some of their activities, including the furnishing of food, beverages, and social amusements, are not distinctly private and, in fact, the evidence shows that those activities are open to both genders. |
 | | For example, although the Eagles no longer accept women as members, it appears that the women who were admitted from 1995 to 1998 remain in the organization. |
