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.

It isn’t less safe under Trump, but if they think that, that’s their business.

If they want to feel angst and unsafe every time they go somewhere, the truth isn’t going to change their minds, so go ahead...swim in 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

Wholeheartedly agree! Hollyweird is trying to normalize perversion and by taking a left turn at every opportunity they are succeeding in their indoctrination of society.

So when Booker yelled that he was ‘Spartacus’... perhaps this was what he was referring to?

I suggest they got to the Middle East or India or Pakistan. I’m sure travel is easy there

I know a lesbian couple who have a MAGA hat hanging on their coat rack, and are very proud of it. My liberal sister said I can’t believe they would support Trump, and I told her they get the fact that just because their gay doesn’t mean they have to support higher taxes, higher regs, illegal immigration, etc.
