US State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers"

www.erininthemorning.com State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers"

The change is an attempt to insert a divide in the LGBTQIA+ community by the Trump administration, and to erase transgender people from any consideration or recognition.

I’m very sorry to all the trans people in or having to deal with the US. I’m sure this is going to escalate elsewhere as well.

I can’t believe I’m seeing such a pointless and hateful revolution.
Presumably every other country now ought to update their safety advice as it pertains to the US. Bleak.
If you want to see the pages for yourself.
