European countries urge LGBTQ+ travellers to use caution when travelling to US

European countries including Denmark, Germany and Finland have warned LGBTQ+ tourists and those travelling for work to be careful when visiting the US, in the wake of President Trump’s anti LGBTQ+ executive orders.

The three countries updated their travel guidance to urge caution for trans and non-binary travellers after Trump signed an executive order declaring there are only two sexes.

The UK has also reminded people that neither a visa nor electronic system for travel authorisation guarantees entry, USA Today reported.
