Talk:State of the Map 2019/Call for venues

LGBT concerns

I have contacted the SotM WG directly, but I'm putting this here for the record. Of the 5 bids, 4 are in countries where it's illegal to be gay. If SotM was there, it would not be a safe space for LGBT people. wikipedia:LGBT rights in Cameroon, wikipedia:LGBT rights in the Gambia, wikipedia:LGBT rights in Nigeria, wikipedia:LGBT rights in Tunisia
