I was reading a post and LondonTraveller said that being gay an being a traveller were small parts of his life. I was wondering who else feels this way?
think bein a traveller effects my life in huge ways! From where I go (or cant) to many of the ways i do things and look at them. Even th way i dnt feel like i totaly fit in on either community. Same with being gay. Its only a little thing but it means ill never have the weddin my parents want an chances ar will not have a child etc.
So just wondering how much does being gay and a traveller effect your life?

obviously being gay n a traveller r big issues both to me and everyone else
wot i was sayin is BE BIGGER THAN YER LABLES
ie, dont look to limit yerself with labels by being a traveller or gay, the key ( for me) is to be ME regardless of where i come from

I think thats an excellent way to look at it all! How do ya think in your own way has it all influenced ya?
I think in a way my educationw as effectd too. Travellers see education as the way forward but the old ways die hard an most her drop out to go to youtrh reaches and trainin centres as it brings in a lot of money when most have none. yes education goes on but its not mainstreme so people rarly move beyond that. ya know?
Despit my issues qith who i am where im from and who my people r id never change thos things. as i think this is exactly who im meant to be
