Probably a bit of a stretch to call it political. As far as I understand, all that it's about is a shared stance against bigotry and letting people know that it's ok to be different and that we accept people from a wide variety of walks of life. Seems in line with our current policies so I don't really see much of an issue there. Debian isn't aligning itself with any specific political movement here so I think in that context, it's really a non-issue. Even if it were, there are going to be places where you're going to have to pick sides when protecting basic freedoms become political. This one is very uncomplicated though. -Jonathan -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) <jcc> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer - https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be Bold.
