Global Affairs Canada warned that some state laws may affect them on their travels, but did not specify where.

The term 2SLGBTQI+ is widely used in Canada for people who consider themselves two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or intersex.

A spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada pointed to US laws targeting the transgender community.

" Since The Beginning of 2023, certain states in the US have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender-affirming care and from participation in sporting events, " they told Cbc News .

In March, signed laws banning drag performances in front of children and restricting medical treatment for transgender youth.

Two months later, signed bills banning children from undergoing transgender medical treatments or going to drag shows, and restricting pronoun use in classrooms.

Hundreds of similar regulations on LGBT issues have been proposed in conservative-run states across the US.

The Human Rights Campaign, the LGBT community's largest advocacy group in the US, said in June that LGBT Americans were facing a state of emergency as states continue targeting them with legislation.

She declined to comment when asked whether there had been discussions with the US government before making The Change .
