Who is "we"?

You may be one of a number of LGBT people who have said they feel
uncomfortable with going to Egypt, but you can't say you speak for everyone
in the LGBT community. Those with concerns can or have voice them, those who
are willing to take any perceived or imagined "risks" will go, those who
feel safe will go confidently. Saying all LGBT people feel unsafe going to
Egypt is putting words in their mouths and is very inaccurate.
