Canada warns travelers to US about anti-LGBTQ laws
such_lettuce7970, 
I'm an LGBTQ Canadian and I'll never step foot in the States.
itsJoelle, As a Floridian homie: good. There’s so much to experience in the world. I put the US in the “overhyped tier”
Hiccup, I would’ve disagreed with you 15-30 years ago. Now, nope. US is in collapse and poorly maintained.
JoYo, 
lol ok I’ve been to newfoundland and montreal.
there’s bigotry aplenty.
Pogbom, Yeah but there aren’t laws making bigotry mandatory up there.
DoucheBagMcSwag, Freedum
pingveno, check relevant state and local laws
Nice of them to include this. It varies so widely by state. If you're in San Francisco, you're going to be just fine. If you're out in the sticks in Texas, you might find yourself watching your back.
iHUNTcriminals, Way to go Canada!
TropicalDingdong, That seems reasonable.
generalEdo, Should warn them of our gun laws or lack of gun control.
iHUNTcriminals, And abundance of drug laws.
…and if you get hurt you might as well tell them to ask a passer by to put you out of your misery.
originalucifer, 
i believe canada covers its peeps medically abroad via some method. so even in the u.s. canada has it better
Pogbom, Healthcare is provincially regulated here, but coverage in other countries is usually only at the rate that they would cover up here. Because of the huge discrepancies in pricing, most provinces recommend you buy travel insurance when going anywhere else.
