Canada has updated its travel advisory to warn LGBTQ residents visiting the United States about local laws and policies that may “infringe on your human rights” amid a rise in legislation targeting gay and transgender people, adding Canada to a list of countries that warn visitors to America about gun laws, mass shooting events and hate crime regularity. Spurred by what Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland called a need to prioritize the “interests and the safety of every single Canadian,” the country’s advisory page tells residents to check relevant state and local laws and now links to several maps outlining where anti-LGBTQ+ laws are in place worldwide.
