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.
