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,

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,

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.
