Same-sex marriage is now legal nationwide in the United States…but that recognition is not universal. LGBT individuals still have difficulties around the world. When a same-sex couple goes to visit a foreign country they might face political obstacles, immigration issues, and estate planning issues.

Even in the darkest corners of the Earth, there are people, governments, and organizations that shine the light for those who have to deal with these LGBT hostile countries.
