[Moo] Same Gender Corsort Proposal from SCA Announcement List

[Marcolo DelMare]

   No it doesn't need to address that possibility. I would much rather be
abused by cheaters than make ourselves bigots. Discrimination is always
bad, *always *every time. I don't want discrimination against mixed racial
couples, people with non christian personas, same gender couples or anyone
else.
  And to stop the two Duke scenario, only one member of a couple may fight
in any crown tournament. If you are accepting someone to fight for you to
be sovereign or consort then you may not fight. And if you have been
sovereign OR consort you may not fight in the next crown. This way if a
pair of Dukes want to team up then it reduces the chance of one of them
winning crown because only one of them will be able to fight.

These days people just think of me as an an irreverent asshat."
