This past Wednesday the UK gave out a warning to its LGBT citizens who may be considering traveling to the US. The warning cautioned travelers against going to North Carolina and Mississippi because recent laws passed in the states may make it difficult or them to travel comfortably within those areas. Many believe those laws legalize discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.

“The U.S. is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country,” the British government said on its travel advice website “LGBT travelers may be affected by legislation passed recently in the states of North Carolina and Mississippi.”
