Which countries are the most LGBTQI+-friendly?

Sobre este episódio

When choosing a holiday destination abroad, what factors do you take into account? Perhaps stunning landscapes, vibrant cultural scenes or enticing local cuisine.

As of 2024, homosexuality remains illegal in over 60 countries, and nearly 40 countries have laws that criminalise transgender individuals. But it's not just about the laws; local public opinion also plays a significant role. Travelling or relocating can therefore sometimes be a real challenge. What makes a country "LGBTQI+-friendly"?
