I don't know... I think they said exactly the same thing they just didn't use actual words. I liked the first version. It was clear.

I'm inclined to agree with Linda. If the revision is just to make it less obvious that they're really interpreting B033 to just exclude gay people from the process, then I find the original statement much more honest. Despicable, but honest. But to me, that's better than despicable and less than honest.
