RMN Supported Petitions:
These are the 12 key pro-inclusiveness lgbt-related petitions that RMN has determined to endorse. Many other variations have been submitted by allies and friends—all of which are greatly appreciated and show the tremendous support for the movement. Even the 12 key petitions that are being endorsed were in some cases submitted by multiple parties, particularly concerning legislatively overruling Judicial Council Decision 1032. However, for reasons that have been deeply considered, RMN urges a focus on these particular 12 key petitions as the best way to accomplish full inclusion at this General Conference.
