It's amazing how far things have deteriorated in the USA. To the point that someone thought that this travel advisory needed to be made.
Why is the deep south of the USA trying pull a Russia and go deeper? As in how Russia want's the good ol'e days of the Soviet Union back.
I still can't believe that Abortion rights were and are still revoked. Christ this is 1960's shit. Was all the work of the free love hippie protests for nothing?

The abortion rights reversal thing was dacades of work to undermine the courts.
They are playing the long game to reverse civil rights. Yet we can't forget the progress that has been made while they planted their conservative judges in high positions and how very unpopular these court decisions are with the general public.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
LGBTQ+ citizens are at risk when traveling to the US due to numerous discriminatory laws passed at state level, the Canadian government has warned.
In a statement to CNN, the global affairs department of the Canadian government said: “Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the US have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender affirming care and from participation in sporting events.”
Canada has provided specific guidelines to its LGBTQ+ citizens traveling abroad: “Watch for laws that: criminalize same-sex activities and relationships [and] criminalize people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.
The LGBTQ+ advocacy organization Human Rights Campaign declared a national state of emergency in June – Pride month.
Earlier this month, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, Mélanie Joly, said the government was strategizing ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, especially in the case it moves the US closer to far-right authoritarianism, the National Post reported.
“I will work with my colleagues and with the mayors, the provincial premiers, with the business community, with the unions, with everyone in the country, so that we are ready regardless of the election outcome.”
