How do you define "Gay Culture"?

Nope, can't.

I fear I am opposed to the whole notion that fags are special and somehow so unique that they need their own scene/culture - IDK sub human or super human - doesn't seem to apply....:tongue:

Thanks for making my point for me, Arquus Adque Sagittae!


This thread was the result of a stereotypical straight person's attempt to compliment me for not being his version of a stereotypical effeminate homosexual.

Ooohhhh, So is this some sort of LABELING again??
Remember, there is no way to identify who you are. If you find women attractive and men attractive your still not BI.
Memechose h@tes labeling, so we all are normal with infractions.

It's the act itself that gets the label.-- NOT what you think it is or who you think you are.
SORRY

That makes perfect sense to me.... but it doesn't make me like labels any better or make me want to fit into any of the ones folks try to cram on me..... or others.. or themselves.

..... hmmm ...I don't even like the label 'normal.' LOL.....

Gay culture is not some thing. It is a tool used for good or bad, collecting, inquiring, defining, insinuating, stereotyping, presenting, etc. You can google evidence of gay culture and get 20 different examples. There is still great work ahead for compiling for prosperity and you'll be hard pressed to create a comprehensive compendium that would adequately satisfy most without discussion and debate. And as pointed out, most if not all would require sexual connotation in order to distinguish the culture from any other. Nice provocation Virge. Xyxwave

I hear you Memechose, I get your point. I hope you know I meant no ill will towards you--(how could I)
I'm just stating how the population views people and labels them.--You can label yourself anyway you want, but at the end of the day, it's your actions that get the label, NOT you.
That's just the way society is.

Not stereotyping the straights here, but the hicks where I live don't like any type of culture - whether its gay or otherwise.

In the August edition of OUT magazine, there is an article titled The Gay Agenda. This article reveals the Top 10 of the gay-pop culture. I must be on a different planet for I have no idea what any of these refer to. Here is the top 10 list:

1. The Dog - a documentary about the movie Dog Day Afternoon.
2. Conversations - the debut album from the english band Woman's Hour.
3. Last Weekend - a gay comedy movie (does that make it a gayedy or a gayey?)
4. Teddy Sears in Masters of Sex (he's OK looking, but not dreamy)
5. Josh Thomas in the comedy Please Like Me (he's cute)
6. All I Love and Know - the latest literary offering from Judith Frank
7. Haute Cuisine - billed as a food porn film.
8. The Trip to Italy - another food movie
9. The Hundred Foot Journey - another food movie, surprisingly NOT about centipedes.
10. What If - yup, another food movie.

So meeemeee, your definition of gay culture would seem to involve movies, tv and books that generally cycle around a comedic food theme. If you wish to see the original inspiration for gay culture (based on this premise), view the food fight scene from Animal House with John Belushi.

^Animal House is the only thing I recognize out of that post.

Question, all those foodie movies, was it all organic food?
