Even US organizations are warning against travel to some parts of the US. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Canada is, too.

The only issue I have is that it's an average of the overall state. California is pretty great; but not all parts. I happen to be smack dab in the middle of one of the more conservative areas. It's about as easy to find allies as it is to find bigots. Just a few months ago, there was a fucking pro-nazi rally in my city. I was disgusted.

Yeah definitely, policy/legality is very different from culture. Unfortunately I don't have a culture map available and don't know where someone can find one. Plugging into the local queer scene or asking for opinions from the community might be the only avenue to gather that info.
