Global Affairs Canada on Tuesday issued an updated travel advisory for 2SLGBTQI+ (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Questioning, Intersex and more) people, warning them to be wary of laws in some US states that may affect them during travels.
The updated US travel advisory warns Canadians who identify as 2SLGBTQI+ to be cautious by linking to another page urging awareness of legislation in foreign countries that criminalize same-sex activities or target people based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
In the wake of a historic number of passed laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights — particularly transgender rights — the Human Rights Campaign partnered with Equality Florida to issue a travel advisory for that far-right state. So radical right-wingers shouldn't be surprised when other countries, including Canada, have concerns about their citizens from marginalized groups traveling to the US.
This "travel advisory," and others like it, are ridiculous. Laws in states like Florida and North Carolina are being passed to protect women-only spaces and bar children from undergoing surgical procedures before they're old enough to consent. Advisories like this are just posturing by the woke left, which doesn't take safety seriously and hides behind the term inclusion.
