39 SHARES Share Tweet Share Mail(CNN) — The Canadian government is warning its LGBTQ citizens of risks they could face when traveling to the US, citing new laws in several states. Check relevant state and local laws,” reads the updated advisory posted on Tuesday. The updated travel advice comes after US-based advocacy group Human Rights Campaign declared a national state of emergency for LGBTQ people in June. “Foreign laws and customs related to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) can be very different from those in Canada. As a result, you could face certain barriers and risks when you travel outside Canada,” the advice reads.
