Global Affairs Canada is not advising against LGBTQ2 Canadians travelling to the U.S., but to take precautions and be aware of local and state laws.

    Strangely Canada is the only country I travelled to from Europe where I was verbally asked in their airport border control: if I was Mormon, as not, what my religion was, and if I was gay. Not the tolerant country I always heard about.

      I live in Canada and I’ve never heard of this happening. Did they just straight up ask you this at customs?

        Is up to you to deny this reality I can do nothing else then tell what happened to me.

        This was my awkward episode in Canada as I expected the country to be open minded and tolerant.

      You were getting hit on by a gay ex-Mormon. He was awkward. He wants you to know he’s sorry he made you uncomfortable.
