For me, the decision to support a show depends mainly on the quality of the proposal. Would it be a good show? Is the Director/Producer really engaged in the project?
The gender of the roles is a secondary consideration, with two caveats: 1. If it is all-male I would have concerns on wether we could attract enough auditioners. 2. If T@F had been doing a lot of shows with "all or mostly gender X" shows I'd be much more likely to vote for something with stuff for gender Y. At the very least so that we don't lose some of our regulars becuase they've found other things to do.
12AJ is an interesting example as it could have been proposed as 12 Angry Men, 12 Angry Women or 12 Angry Jurors. I would have voted for any of these, based on the proposal I saw. Although 12 angry men would have provoked issue #1 and I would have asked about it.
So yeah..those are my 2 cents. Generally don't care except in cases of practicality and/or monotony.
