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

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.

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.

The Q in the alphabet soup is for “Questioning”

I have seen that, but also ‘Queer’. Sometimes they toss in an extra Q to the list to include it. My theory is that the extra letters are to make them look to be a bigger part of the population than they really are. To look at ‘popular’ culture, one would think that normals were a minority.

Thank You President Trump!

Maybe it was the poop in all the cities

Having fewer foreign homosexuals visiting the USA is certainly not going to affect the lives of normal Americans in any way.

Thanks to the Democrats and the RINOs, much of the U.S. is now way less travel-friendly for ALL Americans. I know I’m not alone in having decided that I will never again set foot in any cities or states that have been turned into cesspools of crime and street filth by the Democrats’ sanctuary policies.

We need to strive to get to the bottom of this list.

Their real problem is no one pays any attention to them and it bugs the hell out of them

The very thing that set Juicy off.

Well then, by all means, those LGBTQs should go to Iran and Saudi Arabia where they will find abundant geniality, hearty welcomes, and enjoy the “building-toss” game.

HOMOSEXUALS OF THE WORLD: Either repent, or stay out of my country. We’ve got enough of you people here, spreading sin, disease, and pedophilia.

Looks like Spartacus likes sticking his sword into 2 buns.

Uh no. It’s push back against Hollywood for pushing the Gay and SJW agenda in every freakin’ tv show.

So. Sick. Of. It. The tourists are just sensing that push back. It’s not against them personally; it’s against all who push it on the 90% who don’t belong to that group.

Sodomy is a grevious offense against God, which caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Let it not happen here.

What a bunch of crap.

Trump has no problem with gay people. He just doesn’t subscribe to the radical gay agenda.

And guess what? Most gays don’t neither, but you just hear the loud ones.

Go visit Santa Fe, NM, they’re always happy to welcome fags.

[wjcsux]

I know several homosexual people, they are like us and don’t want to shove it in our face. BTW, they hate DemocRATS.

[rktman]

A-mazing how a 1.5% to 3% share of the population can scare the beejezzus out of the rest of the population huh?

[Secret Agent Man]

Doubtful.

But i am happy they believe it.
