Literally the beginning of the article makes it clear Canada is refering to "certain states" and it's repeated through the entire article. You just came here to crack a joke in poor taste and didn't even bother reading the article lol.
LGBTQ+ citizens are at risk when traveling to the US due to numerous discriminatory laws passed at state level, the Canadian government has warned.
“Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and local laws,” the government’s website reads.
Also as someone from outside the U.S., I'd understand it even if the advising was country-wide and not state specific. But it isn't.
Instead of concerning yourself one bit with the important part of the news, you decided to pick on the acronym made for inclusion.
While to some it might seem as exaggerated, the acronym is this lengthy to bring the inclusion spotlight and to raise awareness of certain things. In day to day talk most people wouldn't bother with the official acronym and LGBT or LGBTQ+ OR LGBT+ would do the trick.
The full acronym, in this context, is a formality most likely.
