I'm not sure how you got from my side-eying Tor to community cred requirements for awards. I was a Lammy judge when we were supposed to be verifying queerness by reading author bios and vehemently opposed those rules (ended up resigning over it). I think Tor is trying to play both sides while never being overtly pro-queer in publicity materials, which is rude. I don't think the Lammies or anyone needs to respond to that by policing who can submit to awards.
