How do you define "Gay Culture"?

[Virge]

I'm really curious about this because I keep hearing the phrase used by gays and straights and forgetting to ask people to give me their definitions of what "gay culture" is...

So go for it... I'll give a prize for the best answer....

That's actually a very difficult question to answer, as it depends on the person and their definition of gay.

For me, men who prefer to sleep with men exclusively are 'gay'. Using that broad a definition, gay culture can be as varied as 'straight culture'.

However, I know some guys who consider themselves 'butch' or 'straight-acting' and consider 'gay' to be stereotypical behavior, like Mitch and Cam from Modern Family or "Mango" from SNL. They would never go to a pride march or gay bar, and therefore, "gay" has a different meaning and they would have a very different list and feeling for gay culture than I would.

Of course they would need to be flying on winged unicorns surfing rainbows while blasting RuPaul.

To me, people in the center of "gay culture" are those who are defined by being gay. That is their entire identity and they let it dictate who they are, they choices they make, and their interests. If they woke up straight tomorrow, they wouldn't know a single thing about who they are.
