I think that the opposition to gay culture in all aspects: religious, parental, societal, governmental, psychological, etc. is why gay culture is what it is. It has been ingrained into the lives of children who are developing and remains with them as they get older. It is also reinforced by those who had suffered similar reactions who are already older. The acceptance and respect that people generally have for the heterosexual way of life is to such an exclusive degree that it generates rejection of a person's natural gay feelings and is at direct odds with those gay adolescents who just want to be understood and loved. They are chased away from those who should love them and driven into the hands of people who have been corrupted by the same societal rejection. The "core" culture is one created by being pushed away by society through an attempt to find its own and then fed on by the existing culture. It cycles itself. I'll see what anybody says to that and then hopefully respond later. |
I agree to a certain degree, I don't think a lot of guys run towards that type of culture aka "the scene" because they have been rejected, more they feel they can express themselves better, and to be quite frank they stand a better chance of getting laid. Not everything is as complex as you made out.
I grew up being bullied for being gay, I stuck up for myself and I'm certainly not running away feeling rejected ...
