WARNING! TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR CANADIANS VISITING THE.....UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

 

Canada's Federal Government recently issued a travel advisory for all 2+LGBTQi travelling to the USA. There is no specific reasoning as to why this warning was issued so I'll just C+P a portion of the article I was reading this morning from the CBC. 

Discuss. 

Enjoy. 

Do we need an advisory on this site? Warning.....we break people here! LOL

The updated advice does not mention any specific law or state policy, nor does it suggest staying away from a particular state. When asked for details, a department spokesperson pointed to laws targeting the transgender community.

"Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the U.S. have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender affirming care and from participation in sporting events," the spokesperson said in a media statement.

"The information is provided to enable travellers to make their own informed decisions regarding destinations. Outside Canada, laws and customs related to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics can be very different from those in Canada."

Florida was mentioned...

While the advocacy group said it wasn't calling for a boycott or making a blanket recommendation against visiting Florida, it said it wanted to highlight new laws passed by the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature that it said are hostile to the LGBTQ community, restrict abortion access and allow Floridians to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
