According to an administration official familiar with the matter, the alert is connected to the recent announcement from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security that foreign terrorist organizations might seek to exploit “LGBTQIA±related events and venues,” including events during 2024 Pride month, which begins in June.
Makes sense “Be alert in June, jackasses are targeting the rainbow flags”
And how about inside the United States?
The FBI has already issued cautions for domestic events. The state department only warns about issues abroad. This is in response to chatter, not a statement about how much safer the US is for LGBTQ people.
You are in FAR more danger inside the USA than almost anywhere else. Projection to idiots.
Looks like a lot of “almost” there…
This map is out of date, Russia shouldn’t be green anymore
And this is just the legal status, as in, is it criminal to be in a homosexual relationship. Not do LGBT+ have rights, are there anti discrimination laws, are advocacy groups allowed. And certainly not how LGBT+ folks are treated in society.
Are you really saying it is safer to be queer in all of those African and Middle Eastern countries than it is in the U.S.? Really?
No. I’m pointing out that all the green countries aren’t equal. Like some allow gay marriage and some do not. Some allow legal discrimination against LGBT+ folks and some do not.
Mostly I was surprised to see Russia as green and had to look up why.
