For many European gays, the festival’s Eurovision Song Contest marks an informal kickoff for the Global Pride Season.

As usual, there are soaring highlights and scandals among competing European network countries in Basel, Switzerland this month. But another country is the lips of many queer jets this year: the United States, whose series of new anti-deal and anti-immigration policies have led some LGBTQ travelers to reconsider its upcoming US itinerary.

Some European countries including Denmark, Finland and Germany have already given LGBTQ travelers visiting the United States, especially those with the “X” gender listed on their passports. Meanwhile, due to concerns over the safety of the Egale Canada participants in Canada’s leading LGBTQ rights group, the African Human Rights Alliance called for a boycott of the version of the International Pride event, coordinated by Interviside, usually held every two years.

Karl Krause told NBC News on Basel's Eurovision that it refers to a trip to Krause, a German who was born in Amsterdam with Dutch partner Daan Colijn, who was the content creator of the trip and who were being followed by several pairs of men. In 2021, Lonely Planet awarded them the first award for travelling LGBTIQ storytelling, a tribute to their work for the LGBTQ community.

“As gay people heading to the United States, we may still be a more privileged part of the community,” Klaus said. “But recently had some interesting conversations with a trans person in Bilbao, ‘I can’t, I literally can’t see the United States because I didn’t know they would be detained or anything else.

Klaus said that was the moment he realized that while he and Colijn as gays may not have felt the full impact of Trump administration policies, they have had an impact on other travelers in the LGBTQ community.

"So, how can we promote this destination well?" he asked. “How can I send a trans or non-binary friend and try to inspire them to go to the United States during their best time of the year and spend in an unsafe country?”

Colijn added that he and Krause want to send their followers to "a place where they are safe, a place where they are welcome."

"Currently, of course, in most parts of the United States, many people still feel very, very popular - many places are still the same and may even try to do better. But we just want to be careful with our support," Colijn said.

John Tanzella, president and CEO of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), told NBC News that such concerns are widespread this year.

“We hear from travelers about uncertainty about visiting the United States, especially for individuals with trans and gender diversity,” he said. “These decisions are often driven by concerns about security, border treatment and access to affirmative health care. Some people canceled their trips. Many others are still coming, but they are more selective about where they are going.”

Nicoló Manfredini, an Italian transgender living in Valencia, Spain, said he was recently able to enter the United States without incident due to the “M” mark on his passport, but the government’s anti-transaction policy currently makes the United States a place he doesn’t want to visit again.

"Initially, I was going to go to the world for a deal, but now it's not."

Manfredini added that given the current environment, he said he would only go to the United States if he had to go to work.

Even people with gender diversity in the United States are adjusting their travel plans, according to Trump administration’s policies. Of the more than 300 trans, non-binary and other gender-diversity people surveyed, 70% said they were unlikely to go on vacation in the United States, and they thought they felt they were less trans.

Although it usually attends at least once a year at the U.S. Pride event, Klaus said, this year will be different.

"Actually, we are going to go to Washington, D.C. for world interest, but that's not there for us...How safe are we in Washington? Just saying that it scares me a little bit," he said, noting that the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 was particularly worrying. "I don't know what's going on now, who's coming, I feel unsafe about the idea that I'm going there, maybe there are mobs in any direction."

World - Capital Pride Alliance, the organizer behind Pride DC, started earlier this month and lasted until June 8, without responding to NBC News' request for comment, but the event's website details security protocols, which include passport consultation for trans and non-bisexual travelers.

Sahand Miraminy, director of operations at Capital Pride Alliance, told the Washington Post this week that WorldPride DC's security measures will include weapons screening at the entrance to the Street Festival from June 7 to 8, which will also revolve around.

He said that in addition to local and federal “we have the support of institutions we have, we employ private security and there are many forms of security measures and surveillance that we may not always share with the public, but we certainly have conversations with those agencies every week.”

The organizer of Pride in New York, arguably the most popular American Pride event in the world every year, is strengthening its security plan for 2025, like most big cities during the "Pride Month" in June.

"NYC Pride has signed up for a private company with tremendous experience in managing LGBTQIA+ events to lead on-site safety," said spokesman Kevin Kilbride. "Given the scale and visibility of our events, the City's pride feels surveillance and assurance by municipal agencies at all levels of government to protect our freedom of speech and ensure a safe space for our communities."
