Canada Issues Travel Advisory for LGBTQ Travelers to the US

Canada has updated its travel advisory for LGBTQ travelers planning trips to the United States, citing potential dangers and urging them to check how they might be affected by recently passed laws in some states. Anti-LGBTQ demonstrations in the US have increased significantly, and legal moves to restrict LGBTQ rights are on the rise. The advisory does not specify which states are of concern. The US State Department claims to be committed to promoting tolerance and inclusion, but Canada is taking precautions to ensure the safety of its citizens. The United States is the top travel destination for Canadians, and approximately 4% of the Canadian population identifies as LGBTQ.
