LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Legal but civil society space is closing — discretion advised

Local law: Decriminalised 1997; no anti-discrimination protections; NGO crackdown intensifying since 2020. Public LGBTQ+ organising restricted.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

🆘 Who to contact if in trouble →

Rainbow Railroad — emergency relocation for LGBTQ+ people facing persecution. Confidential intake form.

About the event

Aug Art Jamming (LGBTQ+ welcome)
We've put together a few themes - Just pick one thing and go:
🎠 Draw a horse that never made it home. (The Odyssey)
🌳 Draw a tree that's heard too many secrets. (Silent Friend)
🎂 Draw a cake that turned out to be disappointing. (The President's Cake)
And if you'd rather just freestyle and paint whatever comes to mind, that's totally fine too. No judgment here.
