discussion Why do gays travel a lot?

[St. Charles]

It's not a criticism, traveling is awesome. But I'm just wondering because it seems like most of the gays I know are really into traveling to Europe, South America, etc multiple times a year even if they are barely able to afford it. Most of the other people I know travel every now and again, but not nearly as much as the gays. Is it just me or do you notice this as well?

We're forever chasing the next greatest party, running from our damaged lives.

This tbh 

 

And most of us aren't chained down by kids. Those creatures can be a nightmare to live and travel with.

No kids and/or collaborating with other OF creators from around the world. 

[TitanicSurvivor]

They were born to run / they don't belong to anyone

[LCTV]

So they can **** each other.

[shimind]

they are trying to run away from the problems aka their lonely miserable lives... mainly because they are only into hook ups and cant put in the effort for a relationship.

No kids is the clear answer. Gays have disposable income

[Burn]

The same reason they walk fast. Always running away from something.

[Bubble Tea]

Giggling at this thread. Pleased to see I'm not the only cynical cigarette around 

[dussel_06]

[romas_ld]

[loliza]

[LittleStarmen]

No kids or depending on school schedule

[rhaenyra]

Bc their sugar sponsors are paying for their expenses and flying them out to these beautiful cities and countries. They get to travel and get a bunch of free stuff tho however, it comes with a strict stipulation under guided stimulation. Which a lot of these influencers/models seem to be okay with 

[Archetype]

No children is the main reason.  Children are extremely expensive.  
 

Otherwise, it's not just a gay thing.  All of my friends travel a lot, single or in a relationship.  Our generation and younger are encouraged to see as much of the world as possible, and you can also do this cheaply if you don't make that much.

[Stunnah]

Prostitution. 

[cOe]

Grindr

[Princess Aurora]

I'm gay and I don't travel at all unfortunately 

[Hephaestus]

So they can take pics to post on Instagram for likes

They try to run from themselves and from the condition they put themselves into or have been put into.

 

Travelling means breaking free. Getting out of where/what you are now and experimenting new things.

 

I may overthink it but the closet is highly symbolic in that theory. I believe that we always have a feeling of being limited due to many things : having the gay label, being historically less respected than people who identify as straight, less romantic options available... It make sense than many "gay people" are searching for more freedom in their life, travelling give that feeling.

Because we've worked hard for it, people love to assume everything is just handed to us on a platter, but between studying and working all our lives, some of us have been fortunate enough to travel and see multiple parts of the globe. Not surprised some people think individuals prostitute themselves to afford to travel; it's giving an archaic and slightly homophobic vibe.
