Disappointed to see that the World Federation of the Deaf opted for Dubai in 2027 instead of Oslo or Abuja. The UAE has a track record of terrible human rights violations, citizens of at least 20 countries cannot get visas to enter, and people living with HIV are banned completely.
And just in case you think none of that matters to you personally: it is against the law to share a hotel room with a different gender if you are not married. The authorities can install spyware on your phone. You can be thrown in jail for wearing a tank top. You can be deported for kissing your spouse in public (even if you're straight).
@meredith so it's not just the @nationsblind #nfb24 who made terrible decisions about their next convention venue.
