Also, for the BGLOs that do grant honorary membership, most of the time it is to people who don't have the name recognition of a Michelle Obama or Bill Clinton. It is just because these folks have big names that the mainstream press gives the story any attention. That's a roundabout way of saying that we don't grant honorary membership just to "famous" folks or to folks because they are famous.
