That Dubai thread has me wondering, how conscious are you of avoiding countries where they have inequality, particularly for LGBT+ people?
I don't think about it often because I haven't traveled in a while, but I do realize that I've long thought as an adult I would certainly avoid places where homosexuality is illegal in some forms and that id also use more discretion on places that still have marriage inequality. I don't really want to ever get in a conversation where I would have to lie anymore about being gay or where my honesty would be unwelcome.
Exactly the same for me. I have no desire to go to a country where my idendity would have to be compromised. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all. Dubaï is a no-no, for that particular reason and others mentionned in the thread you're talking about.
