Everywhere varies a ton, and there are bigots and supporters everywhere. Its important to consider regions and citites.
As an American, I feel safer in the capital city of the state that is likely to become the next addition to Erin’s “do not travel list” than I do in rural areas of the safest states. A map of states or countries like the one dandelion posted in this thread will fill an entire nation a single shade. That’s an oversimplification.
Canada got an A grade, but alberta if rated alone would be no higher than a D in my guess.
Make sure you’re moving to a safe city in a safe country. National elections don’t change your neighbors.
yes, this exactly - way too many LGBT+ folks look at a map (whether country, or by state) and think it’s safe wherever - and while the laws in a state or country may be better (and this may translate to better rights in rural areas too), in general cities will be safer than rural areas.
+1 for moving to a safe city in a safe country
I think there was someone who moved to east Washington state, which is a very right-wing part of the country; Washington state is very progressive, but it’s all west of the mountains along the coast - living is Seattle is a radically different experience than living in Spokane.
You might want to consider Asher Fergusson, - though that list was made before the Orange Fascist took power.
(also get a vpn if you didn’t do so already, use librefox + ublock origin, self host if possible, know your threat model, etc)
but basically, the best would be to go for a larger city in a relatively trans-friendly country. consider also society’s attitudes rather than laws only!
considering you’re in russia, literally go to any bigger city (like 100k+ ppl) in the west, you’ll be much better off that way.
rainbow road in canada might be something to consider

berlin would be a good choice, though AfD is pretty popular around Berlin, unfortunately.
somewhere in former West Germany might be handier.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_by_country_or_territory the “Global LGBT rights maps” section is probably useful. but it’s worth noting that many western countries are backsliding hard.
