Worst countries for gay rights
In this article, we confer what we think are the most dangerous places in the world for gay travelers
As gay guys with a constant tour bug, we like to experiment and see recent places.
Everywhere we go, we strive to connect with local LGBTQ+ people and gain their perspective on what it's like growing up gay in their country. A mix of our experience and their stories helps us collate our guide to the most gay friendly countries in the world. However, we've also seen some shockers, particularly among countries that have an anti gay law.
Whilst we respect local custom, take tend with PDAs and sham we're just friends, this sucks. The fact that we need to resort to such measures simply to stay safe whilst exploring those parts of the world is a sad reality that Queer travelers face in today’s world.
In this article, we've highlighted the worst offenders. We've focused on countries that not only contain an anti-gay law, but also go further and actively enforce it. We urge you to also read our Gay Explore page for more resources and vital advice.
