A very good response.
When you say Brotherhood/Sisterhood, it is most inclusive and by any stretch
of imagination or logic you could not exclude any one for any reason. When
you start excluding any one for any reason, it is the root cause of much of
mischief and horror the world has seen for how ever many centuries we can count.
I would not have anything to do with any group which excludes anyone.
