We can share knowledge without meetings, we cannot share knowledge without our community. If some of our community cannot be safe well...who cares of meetings then?

Hoi, For me safety is to a large extend secondary to what we aim to achieve. Our primary goal is to improve on our primary goal and it is "sharing in the sum of all knowledge". It is not for going to the perfect holiday destination. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard, could you provide some tangible examples of how other safety aspects of Wikimania would be compromised if there is any specific attention paid to the safety of LGBT+ Wikimedians? I cannot imagine how such a thing could be true.
Based on my reading, nobody in this thread has asked for the safety of LGBT+ attendees to be "prioritized" over other safety aspects. Please don't make it appear as if they have.
Thanks, Fae

Hoi, I do care that everybody can come to places where they are safe. All
the
specific LGBT attention to safety is however on many levels problematic when we prioritise this over other safety aspects. The big picture for
me
is that we need to go to places where bringing Wikipedia and what it
stands
for the most good. It is why I would go to Russia, to China to India to South Africa.
