> On one hand we would like to support folks serving their time and coming back to society as full citizens. I don’t think any of us would support stripping ex-cons of the right to vote or support themselves. The person in question is a registered level 2 sex offender. This means they are not a full citizen and are still serving their time. So, no, we don't want to support allowing registered sex offenders to attend, present, plan, etc. a large conference and community, and this is less complicated than you describe. The community has been very clear and aligned in their dismay.
