Given that the conference is in the future and they could well enact more of these zones, it feels perfectly reasonable to me that some organisers might feel that's not worth the risk.
- abjKT26nO8 7y ago"I saw a black guy assault a man once. I better stay clear of black guys then. It's not worth the risk." Your reasoning isn't too different from the above. Gdańsk is a liberally-governed city.
- youdontknowtho 7y agoThat's not a reasonable response. Even if Gdansk is liberally run it sends a signal to legislators that policies effect revenue and gives them a reason to push back that avoids moral arguments. That being said, I think it cedes the moral argument to the opposition, but any fight like this has multiple fronts. The reasoning is very different from what you wrote. Surely, you see the difference.
- tensor 7y agoThere is a big difference between an individual doing something bad and a government (no matter the level) doing something bad.
- abjKT26nO8 7y agoThe distinction whether one entity does something or another entity does that is still valid.
- rsynnott 7y agoBut the national government is pretty bigoted, and seems to be treating the anti-LGBT thing as a crusade right now. Seems like reasonable risk reduction for the organisers, if nothing else.
