A minority within a minority - being queer in a traveling family

Living in a culture like Traveller or Roma includes some unwritten rules. Coming out as different in more ways than your ethnicity and having to present it to the older generation is not always easy. But sometimes the family and especially the elders can surprise you.

This is a lecture and a conversation between Linda Lundqvist and her mother Britt-Inger, where they mix facts with their own experiences, humor and anecdotes with seriousness. They will talk about their involvement in Queera issues. The conversation Linda and Britt-Inger have is about being a minority in a minority. Being in two different minorities means that you sometimes get reactions, which can sometimes surprise and sometimes surprise. The prejudices of the two different minorities are not significantly different from everyone else, they just take different forms. We are all human beings, regardless of which minority we belong to, and just because you belong to a minority does not automatically mean that tolerance and compassion are a natural part of the minority or that inclusion is something that is included.
