Britain issues warning for LGBT travelers visiting North Carolina and Mississippi

washingtonpost.com



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.
