:In 2003 the United States Supreme Court ruled that homosexuality, in short, is a constitutionally protected right. (Lawrence v. Texas) Regardless, blocking someone for their sexual orientation is quite far from neutral. [[አባል:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[አባል ውይይት:Vermont|talk]]) 02:50, 7 ጃንዩዌሪ 2019 (UTC)
Sorry to crush your hopes Vermont, but you are not going to convince me of anything, ever! [[User:Codex_Sinaiticus|ፈቃደ]] ([[User talk:Codex_Sinaiticus|ውይይት]]) 03:01, 7 ጃንዩዌሪ 2019 (UTC)
::: I do not speak for the WMF, never worked for them, nor have I ever been paid a penny for my contributions in any way. The community of volunteers takes part literally to do no more than improve the sum of human knowledge.
::: Regardless of the fact that homosexuality is a crime in Ethiopia, this is an irrelevant point as to whether volunteers are free to write about and discuss LGBT+ related topics on the Amharic Wikipedia or whether volunteers who identify as LGBT+ risk arbitrary blocks on this project because they are LGBT+. Writing an article is a ''neutral'' act of itself, as articles are intended to be neutral and fact based, not editorials that advocate a single point of view. For these reasons simply writing factual articles about homosexuality is not a crime under Ethiopian law.
::: Regardless of personal views about LGBT+ rights or the current Ethiopian law, this project must comply with Wikimedia Foundation hosting policies as described in the website terms of use. Anyone who fundamentally disagrees with those policies, and is seen to actively work against them, by definition is not here to create or improve the encyclopaedia.
::: If any administrator uses sysop tools to promote a personal political view, like believing homosexuals are "subhuman", rather than to support the creation and improvement of the encyclopaedia, then by definition they cannot be trusted with sysop tools. --[[አባል:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[አባል ውይይት:Fæ|talk]]) 03:06, 7 ጃንዩዌሪ 2019 (UTC)
