Background: I'm from southern Alabama. I lived most of my life here except when I was in the U.S. Air Force, and lived a year in Texas and a year in England. I do get high in various ways with numerous people. Well - there was about 7 of us sitting around (everyone from the same place as me) and I was the only gay person so someone asked me to define the gay culture/community. I tried to define it from my point of view - but I was wondering what the collective definition would be. So basically the question is. What IS the gay culture/community?
My introduction is a question.

Hi...welcome! It is a tough one as it is impossible to define million of individuals except by their sexuality which is the thing we have in common...so I would keep it simple because after the common bond of sexuality we are unique and individualistic as our heterosexual counterparts.
I don't believe that there is any single gay culture or community, there is a variety of cultures and communities. Also not all gays and lesbians are members of a gay community.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
Gay culture and "the gay community" are terms generally used by the straight media that want to pigeon-hole us, the better to demonise us.
i have no idea wot the gay culture is - i live my life like everyone around me - got to football, play guitar, have barbys, play xbox, worry that i screwed up at work etc etc etc - just like everyone else, only differece is i like guys - i just live life, i dont think i should be pigeon holed like Marsh says, i suppose places like san fran has a gay community because there's a large gay population to warrant it - but not in sunny yorkshire UK :biggrin:
Anyway Yorkshire would need it's own gay culture ;o)
