Disability hasn’t stopped these travellers from seeing the world. They talk about their experiences and offer tips on taking trips – and how the travel industry needs to change

I was born in Nigeria, where I contracted polio. It limits my mobility because my left leg is smaller and shorter than my right. I’ve had it since my first birthday, so it’s all I’ve ever known. Scoliosis was also an issue for me and I had to wear a back brace until I was 18. I moved to London when I was four but it wasn’t until my late teens that my parents even allowed me to travel on a local bus on my own. Now, it’s important for me to be able to travel by myself.

The Birmingham protest shows we still can’t take LGBT equality for granted | Gaby HinsliffThe outcry over primary school sex education is a reminder of the Section 28 era, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff Why act surprised that an oppressive ideology that literally bans LGBT people from countries, has the death penality for being gay, locks people up and so on would be against LGBT equality. How tolerant from the religion of peace! What a pickle. You don't want to offend the LGBT people, but you also don't want to offend the muslims. Victims vs victims. Who will win this one?
