Interesting, but limited article.  I'd like to see more about international destinations, cruise lines and airlines; both those that are welcoming, and those to steer clear of.  There are a lot of us who love to travel.  We need more good information.

Well, its a start.  It was interesting to see the list of cities & counties with non-discrimination ordinances on their books. I was surprised by some of the places on (and not on) the list.   Thanks!

I've been all over the country and never had a problem anywhere, but I could have just been lucky.  There are places in the world where I just can't or won't go, for safety reasons, and some where I'd probably be safe with a group, but where I would still be very nervous.  I do check the State Department's web site, but it's information is somewhat limited and generic.

Ive been Birmingham in the West Midlands and never had a problem. However i dislike the ring road. Its like the M25. The speed limit is more of a guide than an actual limit. ( Ohhh its Birmingham Alabama. My bad)

 

Never had a travelling problem. theres places i would never go regardless of what it says on my passport. such as Saudia, Yeman, Palastine. Libya. Always wanted to go Isreal,  but Japan and maybe Australia is on my bucket list

 

However I have never had any problems anywhere i went. As far as the USA is concerned. Never been. I got invited once. But that was more for being part of a Love triangle. Not my thing at all and disneyland i can take it or leave it. My partner keeps going on about it and how much i would enjoy it but not really that bothered.

 

The Uk is very liberal when it comes to anything like this, But its like anywhere I guess. There is parts that you would never go.That  even the Locals dont go unless they really have to and places that are safe to anyone. Even london has its bad areas and good areas. But they do change.  I grew up in East London in the 80s and unless you  knew the right people or was  very street wise or actted like a native (which I was) then dont expect to come out without a scratch. Now many of those places are quite well to do and dare i say affluent.  However I do go most places without a care but then again I dont really visit the more depreived area of the UK as i have no need. But not trying to promote the UK you could go to far worse places than the British isles.
