Bonus Episode Revisiting Queer Friendly Travel Destinations
Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.
In this bonus recap episode of Let’s Be Perfectly Queer, Archie revisits our earlier episode on queer-friendly travel destinations and asks the big question: where is actually safe for LGBTQ+ travellers in 2026? Using updated global data, we break down the top 10 safest countries, the 10 most dangerous places to visit.
This episode also explores:
- The safest countries for LGBTQ+ travellers in 2026
- Countries where queer travellers face serious legal danger
- Why some popular destinations fall into the “yellow zone”
- LGBTQ+ friendly cities vs. national laws
- Real-world travel safety experiences (including airports and stopovers)
- Resources every queer traveller should check before booking a trip
Whether you’re planning an overseas holiday, travelling for work, or just curious about how LGBTQ+ rights are shifting globally, this episode is for you.
