It will be interesting to see what   happens there. I don't doubt that it is considered controversial. I just find it amusing that so much spiritual thought is tied up in aversion,  whether aversion to the qualities of our finite humanity or  aversion to unorthodoxy. I'm with Alex here. I just find it tremendously amusing, both that people have this entire set of orthodox "rules and regs" that they care about, and that the same people who create such "rules and regs" manage to come up with "exceptions" to them for whenever they're needed.  :-) It has nothing to do with rules per se but those activities that will support enlightened activity and realization. The vows are there for a reason, they are not just arbitrary. We might not like the gaudy sign that says "don't touch, high voltage", but it is there for a reason. I mean ultimately if you cannot perceive your consort as pure vision, i.e. as the Deity, the result is NOT going to be enlightenment. If you are a monk and cause others to fall from their path, that can have negative consequences as well.
