While youβre abroad
In some countries, consensual same-sex sexual activity is illegal and there may be severe penalties.
In countries where same-sex activity is legal, levels of tolerance and acceptance in society may still vary hugely. In some places public displays of affection may receive unwanted attention.
Many of our country travel advice pages include country-specific information for LGBT+ travellers.
When you are abroad, you should be aware that:
even in LGBT+ friendly countries, violence or stigma against LGBT+ people can occur. Take the same precautions you would at home
in some countries, entrapment campaigns may target LGBT+ people, including through popular dating apps. Take sensible precautions when making arrangements to meet people you donβt know well
if you receive unwelcome attention or unwelcome remarks related to your sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, itβs usually best to move away to a safe place. Depending on the country or area youβre in, you may then want to report it to the authorities
local LGBT+ inclusive charities, organisations or travel agents may be able to support you if you need help while abroad
I wonder what advice the Foreign Office would give to trans people visiting the United Kingdom? I'd say there is more or less zero prospect of the police here taking action.

Got a green in my mentions telling me to leave the lib dems because I'm criticising the leadership and... it's part of lib dem culture to criticise the leadership.
And I've read the greens' membership code of conduct. Couldn't do this as a green.
Now I can understand that not everybody looks on...

As the radio played another terrible song,

Darren Jones as Starmer's Chief Secretary making the government's position clear: we're caught between the shattered remains of international law, British interests, and fealty to an increasingly deranged Donald Trump as he transforms the US from global policeman to global hit man.
