Amerika is at the point where people in California get shot for flying a rainbow flag.

No it's really not.

Recommend doing a bit of real traveling. As far as things go on a global scale a lot more FUD comes out of the US because it is an absolute media machine and everyone has their eyes glued on it at all times. As far as real world acceptance of LGBT it doesn't get much better anywhere globally than California. In my experience other than perhaps, some select parts of Western Europe, the comfort level for LGBT travelers is much higher in the US than most places. There are cesspools like Florida that stand out, but this travel warning is largely propaganda.

I've been harassed and attacked in one of the safest cities for queer people in the US - it's only safe anywhere in the country if you're white. so no, this isn't true.

Ah, then I think you meant to say, "A person" in California.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I didn't make the initial comment and also you are just sniveling at this point

The Canadian government, famous for doing anti-US propaganda.

Have you heard of Cuba?

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I've heard it's lovely but probably have to go through Florida to visit.

[-] duderium@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

The amazingly free and open USA makes it difficult for American citizens to visit Cuba, which treats gay and trans people better than any state in the USA.

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

How do they make it difficult? I know several people that have visited and had no issues to complain of. I was half joking about the Florida thing, just going through the airport there probably wouldn't be as bad as walking the streets.
