All of this is idealistic. When voting on new members, each chapter has to be careful not to admit anyone who can harm the chapter. If the members feel that a PNM would harm the chapter's reputation, they have an obligation to their chapter not to offer a bid. I have no problem with an individual's sexual orientation but I DO have a problem with not considering what is best for the entire group. Remember - there is a vote and, as I said before, no one person is guaranteed a right to membership. Our entire premise is based on our right to choose our members.
