    Yes, there are homophobic laws elsewhere as well, it doesn't change the status quo in US

      We've already been over this several times now, there are no homophobic laws in the US.

      The topic of conversation is a warning to "queer" people about going into the US, as if it is more dangerous than the country they're leaving. So yes, it matters.

        You can keep telling that to yourself, it doesn't change the reality

        Also US is objectively more dangerous than Canada for LGBTQIA+ people

          I mean you can keep making up that the gay panic defense is a law but it won't change reality.

          Also US is objectively more dangerous than Canada for LGBTQIA+ people

          But for some reason no one can tell me how. All they can do is attack and insult.
