States that pass queerphobic laws send a message to LGBTQ travelers loud and clear: you are not welcome here.
Midway though 2024, let's take a quick look at how things have changed over the last 12 months. Which states are becoming more LGBTQ-friendly? And which states are going the opposite way, by passing laws that are anti-LGBTQ?
The laws are changing so fast that we may not always keep up with whether a law weโve heard about has actually passed โ or if an LGBTQ-friendly politicianโs veto or a court ruling has prevented the bad law from going into effect.ย
I created this list so that you donโt have to worry about which states are LGBTQ-friendly and which ones are not so friendly, particularly if youโre going on an LGBTQ family vacation where you canโt exactly hide your rainbow selves :)
