Gloucestershire gay young farmer shares his coming-out story

Gloucestershire gay young farmer shares his coming-out story | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

Stuart Gardener is typical of a farming 20-something. Having grown up with agriculture “in his blood”, the 28-year-old would love to have his own farm one day. In the meantime, he’s working all hours – renting ground, rearing cattle and contracting, while holding down a full-time job in a local country store. He studied at an agricultural college. He was a member of a Young Farmers Club. He’s also – and this is where his experience differs from many of his peers – gay.

Fighter Pilot, Racing Driver, Prisoner of War, Transgender Pioneer: The Incredible Story of Roberta Cowell | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

Government must act now to make LGBT lives better

Government must act now to make LGBT lives better | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it
Policy-makers need to be wary of using excuses of “complexity” to stop them taking difficult decisions. By stalling, lives can be blighted in the interim. I’m not talking about Brexit, you’ll be pleased to read, but the fundamental ability for people to be themselves, respected and loved for who they are.
