Hi Rebecca and all,

Well said. Everything is political, and when the movement choses not to speak out or state an opinion on something, then we are giving our

to the status quo.
Believing yourself to be apolitical is as much a fantasy as being completely objective, it is inherently impossible.
While one likely cannot be completely objective, I believe that we should try to be as objective as possible, and not completely succumb to being subjective.
I had written about it here:

Similarly, while the WMF has some shared political stances due to its mission and objectives, it should try to avoid officially taking a stance on politically-tangential issues that are out of that scope and which have no consensus among its members, contributors and users. Otherwise, its effectiveness in accomplishing its mission may be reduced, and we may lose or alienate many members.
Just my opinion,
