Britain just issued a travel warning for LGBT people headed to U.S.

It’s that bad.

In the eyes of the British government, the U.S. may now be a risky destination for LGBT travelers. The British Foreign Office posted a travel advisory update to its website Tuesday warning members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities about anti-LGBT laws passed recently in North Carolina and Mississippi. “The U.S. is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country,” the advisory reads. “LGBT travelers may be affected by legislation passed recently in the states of North Carolina and Mississippi.”

The advisory also provides a map that marks countries around the world — including Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Nicaragua, as well as much of northern Africa and the Middle East — that also have anti-LGBT laws, and includes a few more pieces of travel advice. “Some hotels, especially in rural areas, won’t accept bookings from same-sex couples — check before you go,” the British government warns, noting that LGBT travelers should also “exercise discretion” in rural areas and avoid “excessive physical shows of affection” when in public.

How fucked up is this

Goddamn, seriously.

Everyone, please please please reblog this!! We must keep each other safe. What is happening in North Carolina and Mississippi is messed up, but we have to have each others back. Spread the word. Be safe🌈

We in the United States think we’re so civilized and advanced- with our American Pride that leads so many to declare our country the Land of the Free and the Greatest in the World.

How can any American with any sense of morality and a conscience say that when we’ve been marked as one of the “risky” travel locations? When our politics and diverse laws allow such hatred that other countries have to mark us and warn their citizens about visiting us? This is what’s wrong with our country right now. It’s not the 1800′s, it’s not the 50s, it’s not a third world country.

We are America. We are a country that needs to grow up and act like first world country. We need to get our shit together and evolve with the rest of the world.
