⚖️ Q&A Time:

Last Week’s Results:
We asked: Would you visit a country that criminalizes homosexuality?

• 3% said “Yes”

• 88% said “No”

• 9% said “Depends”

Verdict:
A landslide: our travelers overwhelmingly say NO to places that don’t respect LGBTQ+ rights. Y’all said "absolutely not" — and honestly? Period.

• “Why in the world would I 1, give my money to people who hate us and 2, put my husbands and my life at risk? It is foolish to go to one of these hateful cuntries.”

• “There is no reason to put yourself in an unwelcome situation. No reason to break the law and you are not going to change the laws of a backward country.”

• “I have been to Dubai. I felt as thought it was not a huge deal but I also wasn’t walking around in rainbow booty shorts and a boa either.” (I’ve been, would NEVER do again)

This Week’s Question:
Now we’re curious about your travel style: Would you rather splurge on a luxury hotel, or save on a budget stay and spend big on experiences?

That’s a wrap for this week. ✈️ Safe travels — and we’ll see you next time.
