The British Foreign Office has released an advisory warning travelers to be aware of controversial new laws in North Carolina and Mississippi before visiting the United States. The travel advisory update — directed to members of the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community — was posted on the Foreign Office's website Tuesday. “The U.S. is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country,” the advisory says. “LGBT travelers may be affected by legislation passed recently in the states of North Carolina and Mississippi. Before traveling please read our general travel advice for the LGBT community.” In North Carolina, HB 2 — the controversial law passed last month — limits LGBT protections and forces transgender people to use bathrooms corresponding only with the gender on their birth certificate. Mississippi's law, passed earlier this month, allows businesses to refuse services to gay couples based on religious objections. The new legislation has led to boycotts and backlash in the business community. Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr and Pearl Jam, among others, have canceled appearances in North Carolina as a show of opposition to the new law, and PayPal said it is abandoning plans to expand into Charlotte in response to the legislation. Some cities and states — including San Francisco, the District of Columbia and the state of New York — have also banned non-essential government travel to North Carolina. Among the advice for LGBT Brits traveling abroad: "Exercise discretion" in rural areas and avoid "excessive physical shows of affection" in public. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/04/20/britain-issues-warning-for-lgbt-travelers-visiting-north-carolina-and-mississippi/?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_wv-britain-lgbt-805pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory |

Do they have the same warnings for countries where they execute people of alternative sexual orientations?

Funny, they don't have these advisories to countries that imprison or publicly execute you for being gay....

Stay out of Tennessee too. Unless you are of the hot lesbian variety that likes experimenting from time to time. I'll be in my bunk.

Meh. 90% of the tourists from the UK end up in Orlando, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or San Francisco.
The odds of a gay or transgendered Briton saying "Hey mate, fancy a trip to Mississippi this summer?" are just about fuckin' nil, new law or not. |

They should warn them about driving into the very rural areas also so they won't be exposed to the inbreeding which is occurring according to another thread here in GD That would be hilarious to read the warning "if you start noticing people who appear to look alike or have strangely uncommon body features........" |

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't this bill say "If you have a Dick, use the men's room, if you don't use the women's"?
..... Let's just give the progressives what they want. UNISEX bathrooms. So Ms. Jane-River can try to pee next to Joe "BIG BOY" Johnson as he lets loose a TACO BELL induced shit storm. Fuck it. Go full retard. Give them what they want until they realize that's not really what they wanted. Won't take long for the women to realize they are bleeding heart retards on this issue when every single stall in their bathroom has floating loafs and pee-splashed seats and USED toilet paper thrown into a corner because no Central American Male Immigrant believes you can flush TP..... Oh joy, won't they be happy! |

Did anyone bother to actually read what it says or did you all just go straight to derping? It's a notification about the new laws. You know, so people know about it and know to obey it?

Every single woman in my life is addicted to The Amazing Race, and for the past several seasons they always seem to have the openly gay couple on it, and they always wind up in Dubai or Morocco and the like. Which always makes me wonder how many security guys they have around each camera/team to make sure they don't get killed in the street and/or how many times Phil has to show up, arch an eyebrow and say,"For your safety please take it down a notch, they'll toss you off a fucking building here for that..." |
