DBWI: your thoughts on the USA's first gay king

I truly think that both those accepting of the new king, and those opposed, should look here to the Levant to solve this issue. HM The King of Syria is known to be married to the minor Spanish prince, known affectionately here as "Al-Malikou," or the "the Little King," due to our National Government's secular position (which also keeps things peaceful between the Sunni, Shi'ite Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Jewish subjects.) However, our Royal Couple has kept their relationship as all human relationships should be: personal, and private. Due to the traditional role of the monarchy, The King's husband has no royal title, and is recognized in State documentation as the Royal Consort (due to his own, Spanish royalty, however, he is recognized as His Royal Highness.) Thus their marriage is real and legal, and yet the traditions of the Monarchy have remained. The Supreme Council of Religious Affairs, the Interior Ministry, and the Royal Household Agency all decided in 1988 at the time of the marriage to recognize it in the Levant as the "barren marriage," leading to the designation of the King's nephew, HRH The Crown Prince, to be designated heir to the Throne.

While acceptance and tolerance of all humanity, tradition to an extent must be retained.
 
OOC: here is a rough draft of how I think this TL looks, what do you think?

OOC: Bump!

IC: OK, it's been slightly over a year since James VI has become King. What do you guys think of how he's doing so far?

Here in the Commonwealth of Argentina, where I can see things from a distance, think he's done very well in getting America into shape - what, with the financial crisis going on and the like. Not that America was the only one suffering it (damn Germans! :mad:), but at least here the Federal Council and the Captains-Regent have done their best towards aiding Argentina's financial stability whilst making sure the economy recovered very well from the crisis.

Getting back on topic, other than the financial crisis, James VI probably has done a lot more good for America than anyone else in recent memory. For someone like him, he seemed to be more mature at governing than what most people had expected.
