The UK Foreign Office has issued travel advice specifically for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender travellers abroad. The move, which includes ten "top tips", is aimed at helping travellers avoid legal problems or cultural hostility. It was drawn up after consultations with members of the gay community such as Stonewall and Attitude magazine, and has been welcomed by gay travel groups. The advice, due to appear on the FCO website, does not name specific countries where visitors may encounter particular difficulties. It ranges from warnings about death penalties and police "entrapment campaigns", to the threat of thieves who prey specifically on gay areas. It also counsels tourists on whether to "out" themselves while abroad and suggests how transgender travellers, who have changed sex, can get replacement passports under their new identity. It also warns against travellers misinterpreting local culture in some countries where heterosexual same-sex friends show affection by holding hands in public.
