As far as real world acceptance of LGBT it doesn't get much better anywhere globally than California.

Have you heard of Cuba?

Yes, I've heard it's lovely but probably have to go through Florida to visit.

The amazingly free and open USA makes it difficult for American citizens to visit Cuba, which treats gay and trans people better than any state in the USA.

How do they make it difficult? I know several people that have visited and had no issues to complain of. I was half joking about the Florida thing, just going through the airport there probably wouldn't be as bad as walking the streets.
