The Netherlands has issued a new warning to Dutch citizens considering travel to the United States if they are gay, lesbian, transsexual, or another gender or sexual minority. The Dutch government also warned, “The US government has tightened entry controls for foreign visitors,” echoing similar concerns raised by other countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, in messages to their citizens.

If it’s not safe for LGBTQ people it’s not safe for anyone.
Not sure I see the logic here. Why are white men in danger?
Someone could mistake them for a queer.
White men can also be LGBTQ (well, aside from L).
Because the category of “sexual or gender minority” is broad and hard to define. Border control is going to enforce it arbitrarily and based on vibes. All kinds of people will be mistreated for any reason at all and it will be justified with anti-queer arguments. In the end it isn’t about LGBTQ at all, it’s about power and whatever convenient excuse they find to gain more power.
Especially the speed is hard. Not even full three month and several countries have issued travel warnings.
