Canada Issues Travel Advisory To LGBTQ+ Residents On Traveling To Florida and USA

The Canadian government is warning its LGBTQ+ citizens of risks they could face when traveling to the US, citing new laws in several states. Neither the statement nor the travel advisory single out specific states or laws. The updated travel advice comes after the US-based advocacy group Human Rights Campaign declared a national state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in June. The updated Canadian advisory also tells travelers to beware of laws that criminalize same-sex activities and relationships or target people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
