Canada, our good neighbor to the north, has issued a travel advisory to its citizens. One might think this is related to the ongoing wildfires but that is not the case.
Rather, Canada is warning members of its LGBTQ community that it may not be safe to travel to the United States. America, Land of the Free, has demonstrated hostility toward LGBTQ persons in many regions of the country. Indeed, one might wonder if there are any areas that are truly safe.
Of course, Canada should also advise persons of color and non-Christians to be cautious in the U.S. Thanks to The Religious Right, White Supremacists and the Gun Lobby, public safety is no longer guaranteed for many of our citizens.
