Heads up to all our #LGBTQ/#LGBTQIA/#LGBTQIAplus friends out there. The #US #statedepartment has issued a worldwide #warning due to the potential for attacks on events and individuals.

This is absolutely horrible and pointlessly vague. No details or course or action. What is anyone supposed to do with this warning?The politicians using homophobia/transphobia to get elected are to blame, too. 😡
@janallmac Generally with State Department generalized warnings we're meant to consult their country-specific information for details relevant to us. However, the way this is phrased reflects the fact that the situation really is that bad out there.
