​We advise British people travelling abroad on LGBT+ issues in the Local laws and customs section of the travel advice. This includes a dedicated guidance page on travel advice for LGBT+. For countries where we have evidence to suggest racial discrimination may occur, we include information in the Safety and security section of the travel advice.
