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