[SCA-AE] ANNOUNCE: FW: [Announcements] "Same-Gender Consort Proposal" - Addendum

[arhylda at aol.com]

Regardless of your thoughts on the premise of same-gender consorts, this 'new' wording is horrible. Can't we do better??

Maria A.S.


Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the opposite 
ender.  Crowns may permit entry into the Royal Lists by same-gender couples.

-------------------------------
 
At the Oct 2011 Board meeting, in response to a formal request from An Tir and a 
ubstantial amount of related correspondence from our membership, we committed 
o crafting proposed language to allow same-gender consorts at the Crown/Coronet 
ist level to send out for commentary. This topic is clearly emotionally charged 
or many people, whether for or against the change. We do not have clear 
irection from a majority of participants based on either the Census data or the 
orrespondence received to date.
The Board therefore solicits commentary on the following potential language 
hange to its governing documents in hopes of eliciting commentary and direction 
rom the membership:
Current language: 
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the opposite 
ender.
Proposed Language:
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the opposite 
ender.  Crowns may permit entry into the Royal Lists by same-gender couples.
Comments on this proposal are due by April 1, 2012. 
Please use the title "Same-Gender Consort Proposal" in the Subject line.
