I thought the statement the club issued was fine. Of course one of the first people to comment on it was 'outraged' by the club and how dare they not support her wanting to marry her partner... the outrage was unjustified and from there the matter grew and grew.
The club cannot speak on everyone's behalf - apparently not all board members are voting Yes. They said they are for equality - that is saying in the eyes of the club everyone should be treated equally, but they are not saying you must vote yes if you are with us.
Personally I am a yes voter, as are my family. I'm not in the least disappointed with the club for putting out their statement.
And I feel this entire thing is an embarrassment and a huge waste of money. Just make it equal ffs and let's get on with the problems in this world that all this $$$$$ could go towards to help fix.
