The Government of Canada encourages all LGBTQ persons travelling to the US to familiarize themselves with local laws and customs of the state they are visiting. Canada recognizes that some US states have recently passed laws that could adversely impact the rights and privileges of LGBTQ persons. Therefore, it is important for LGBTQ travellers to be aware of the risks they may face while travelling in certain areas of the US. Canadian travellers should also be aware that their Canadian rights and protections may not be recognized in certain regions of the US.
