About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.
There's a state-by-state map updated last in June here: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/june-anti-trans-legislative-risk
Look at that light blue for my state! It's not the best but I'm still so proud of our progress. Can't wait for it to be the darker blue.
What is the name of the "Do not travel" state?
I mean, this map is for travelers to the US, people who don't know the map exactly.
That's the turd dingleberry that we call Florida.
It's labeled in the other photo fyi
TIL there's more maps further down. 🤦
US is too big and diverse to rate as one unit. It should be broken down into states since the laws can vary so wildly.
That's what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.
this is Canada's ratings. other countries aren't going to bother splitting their ratings by state for travel warnings, they don't do it for any other country why would they do it with America?
PS states are also a thing elsewhere
