Lgb travellers

Travelers can face unique challenges abroad based on their real or perceived sexual orientation. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel. More than 60 countries consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, people who engage in consensual same-sex relations may face severe punishment.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and other sexual minority (LGB+) travelers face risks similar to those of other travelers, influenced by age, sex, socioeconomic status, mental health considerations, and substance use, rather than sexual attraction or identity.
