Gay Americans risk their life and safety when they travel abroad to these places - Marketwatch

Adam Groffman’s passion for travel has taken him to nearly every corner of the globe.

Yet, as a gay man, there are places he won’t go: Russia, Dubai and, now, Brunei. “If I don’t want to go somewhere, I’m not going to,” Groffman, 34, said. “Travel is such an amazing thing to be able to do. There’s little point to stressing yourself out on a holiday.”

For Groffman, a travel blogger, and other LGBTQ travelers, it has perhaps never been safer to travel and be open about one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Nevertheless, traveling to many parts of the world still poses a major risk to one’s safety when you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning.
