- It is a recurring issue for Wikimedia LGBT+ to be asked to support WMF events in anti-LGBT+ spaces
- What should our position on this be?
- We do not have time to discuss now. Will revisit in 2024
- We requested WMF funding to organize discussion on this in February 2022 and September 2022. WMF did not select for funding at that time. We are invited to submit again in 2024.
- Anyone who has volunteer capacity to organize discussion or draft position comments may do so. This is a complicated issue.
