[Ansteorra] Same-Gender Consort Proposal

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings

I didn't say it was because of current legal action, I said it could wind up 
as a legal action.
this issue isn't going to go away any time soon, and several states seem to 
like legal action over other methods of creating change : /

but this is just my opinion, and the choices will be made by the bod , not 
by me.
all i can do is send in my opinion ( which i already did ; )
as has been pointed out earlier, this is a place to discuss and vent , it is 
not going to change anything, only sending your opinion to the bod " may " 
change anything.

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
Arthur
