Hi Itzik,
I do not oppose the LGBT movement, but please explain how an official support of that falls under the global Wikimedia project's mission, and does not dilute our policy of avoiding having a stance on issues that are unrelated to it?
I mean... yeah.
As an LGBT Wikimedian I entirely support changing this law, and I can completely understand staff members wanting to take part in the demonstrations, and the organisation wanting to support them in doing that.
But I really don't see why Wikimedia Israel should formally involve itself in a general social-policy issue that's nothing specifically to do with our mission. We need to be careful not to try to be a general-purpose progressive movement.
Regards,
Chris
