I checked the Summary of Decisions to see if I could find a tomboy party in my honor and instead I discovered two terms that were discussed and rejected:
Overweight women’s writings; Overweight women’s writings, American
While I'd like to see the authors described as something other than "Overweight women," I'm disappointed that their publications won't be easily collocated in the catalog.
Marriage equality proposed as a UF for Same-sex marriage; Gay couples—Legal status, laws, etc.
I'd like to see it as an RT, which is more or less what the snooty language of the Summary suggests
"While the concept of marriage equality is today often seen as synonymous to same-sex marriage, the two concepts are not equivalent. Through history, there have been many fights for marriage equality (e.g., the right of persons of different races or faiths to marry). The phrase is even more ambiguous than that, though, and could refer to social, economic, etc., equality within a marriage. These proposals were not approved. A separate, appropriately researched, proposal for marriage equality may be proposed if desired. Such a proposal should include a scope note clearly defining the intended meaning."
