This meetup is intended for queer Wikipedians and allies as a space to socialize and also to discuss initiatives currently being worked on by the Wikimedia LGBT+ user group.
LGBTQ+ Wikimedians meet to discuss pressing issues every year at Wikimania.
Issues to discuss this year include the following:
* Support, opportunities, coming together, community education, issues faced, successes
* Queering Wikipedia conference
* Wiki Loves Pride editing campaign
* Community projects - what you are working on
* Governance of the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group
* New staff for Wikimedia LGBT+!
- How does your session relate to the event theme: Wikimania@20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability?
-
The LGBTQ+ community is among the most persecuted of Wikimedia demographics. In all countries, language communities, and Wikimedia projects, Wikimedians who either identify as LGBTQ+ or who contribute to the development of LGBTQ+ themed content report frequent, intense, and dangerous threats, harassment, doxing, stalking, disruption, and hounding.
This meetup contributes to goals for inclusion of all demographics in the Wikimedia community.
