“People are concerned because we realize that our rights are under attack in some cases,” said Mark Chesnut , a New York-based travel writer and speaker with 30 years of experience in the industry. “People aren't going to stop traveling.

“We as gay people have to do that extra layer of research compared to my straight friends. They can hop on a plane and go,” said Arestis, a Greek Cypriot. Arestis has visited 97 countries of all sorts. Chaneac doesn’t count but does have places he wouldn't go out of safety concerns, including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
“We advise caution over PDAs unless you're in a gay-friendly environment. Having said that, Peru relies heavily on tourism so gay travelers will feel comfortable and welcome,” they advise. Claiborne is a trans woman who frequently travels globally. At 6-foot-2, and taller in heels, she often draws stares in security lines.
