The warning was prompted by state laws ranging from bans on drag shows to bans on gender-affirming care.
Global Affairs Canada, the department that manages diplomatic and consular assistance, gave a statement to“Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the U.S. have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender-affirming care and from participation in sporting events,”Canada is not alone in its warning to LGBTQ people — indeed, several advocacy groups in the U.S.
In June, the Human Rights Campaign issued a state of emergency for LGBTQ people living in the U.S. — the organization’s first such statement in four decades. “The sharp rise in anti-LGBTQ+ measures has spawned a dizzying patchwork of discriminatory state laws that have created increasingly hostile and dangerous environments for LGBTQ+ people,”Many of the new laws, particularly those targeting transgender people, have resulted in thousands of people fleeing their home states for parts of the country that may be safer or more welcoming.
