The US is often thought of as one of the most progressive countries in the world, but thanks to Donald Trump it’s not a place LGBTQ+ people are lining up to visit. An annual gay travel index has ranked the US is 47th in a list of the friendliest destinations for queer travelers, falling from it’s 2018 ranking of 39.

Berlin-based Spartacus International Gay Guide is a handy resource for LGBTQ+ travelers, and releases the Spartacus Gay Travel Index annually, measuring countries’ queer accessibility through a set of 14 criteria including anti-discrimination legislation, marriage equality, adoption rights, transgender rights, and religious influence.

They should be more concerned about creeping Shariah law in theoretically more “friendly” jurisdictions.

Too bad. That group of people has been horribly hateful towards Christians. What comes around, goes around.
