I would also add that I would prefer NOT for this thread to discuss the merits of the bill itself, or of being LGBT; rather I am curious how an apolitical organization should respond to a political issue that could impact team members.
Also, I should state thatthis is just my question, and should not be taken to have anything to do with my associated team, which was unaware I would be starting this thread.

Fair enough, and I don't think there's anything wrong with starting this thread. Consider this. If we're talking about political activism, I can think of things far more heinous that are going on and affect FRC. Especially now that FRC encompasses multiple countries, should be also be arguing about the Israel / Palestine issue, Chinese human rights violations, censorship, and lack of respect for intellectual property laws, etc? I don't think so.
