The US Is Now Less Travel-Friendly for LGBTQ+ People Because of Trump

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.

Spartacus credits America’s drop to “right-wing conservative governments and their initiatives to revoke LGBT rights that have been achieved, as well as the associated increase in homophobic and transphobic violence.” When the US fell from the 34th position in 2018, Spartacus cited Trump’s “attempts to curtail transgender rights in the military” as the main reason for the drop.

Unless you’re a guy in a dress coming here to join our army, not a single solitary thing has changed under Trump. Flake news.

Donald Trump tweets every day about how bad the LGBT people are and he’s sending black helicopters after them and building concentration camps. Sarc.

Ok, I’ve got to ask. How does ‘Queer’ differ from Lesbian/Gay? Why is it included in the alphabet soup?

The Q in the alphabet soup is for "Questioning"
i.e. Those who are ambiguous about their sexual preferences and are questioning or exploring.

My question is, what are the people of New Jersey thinking?!
Spartacus and a pedophile as their Senators?

So, actually, it's an entirely arbitrary ranking that changes as they please to reward or punish countries. And I'm pretty sure it entirely doesn't affect any travel whatsoever; it might affect some world convention which will ‘choose’ to go to another city ‘due to the US’s drastic decline in ranking’ or some other excuse to go to Thailand.
