To me, the Scene is something rather different from the Gay community. We should distinguish between the two... OwenBlacker 12:19, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Postmodernism
I totally did not understand this sentence:
- Postmodernist gays, for example will often view the gay community as just another social construct.
A community is a type of social structure. I think that makes it a "social construct" pretty much by definition. I was wondering if the author meant that postmodernists (and it need not just be postmodern gays, I guess) would tend to view homosexuality or "gayness" itself as a social construct, and thus the notion of a gay population of any kind is also a social construct. Can someone explain this better or point to any primary sources for postmodern views of gaity? -- Beland 05:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Top 5 US Cities with a high gay community
Where are these statistics from?
[edit] From "Gay"
After some discussion on the gay page, it was deemed that the information on the gay community would be better served on the gay community page. In a coupll days it will be removed from the Gay page and a link will reference the reader to coem to this page. --Waterspyder 05:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A further extension of social globlization ?
Sorry, but what was that suposed to mean ?
[edit] merging Wikipedian categories
On Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion#Wikipedians_by_politics, we're talking about standardizing formats for WIkipedian categories (putting "wikipedian" in most, that sort of thing). Josiah Rowe brought up the question of why we have both category:LGBT SOFFA and category:Queer Supportive Wikipedians. How would people feel about a merge of those two into category:Wikipedians who support the LGBT community? Make a comment at the CfD loation if you like, or here.--Mike Selinker 20:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "The notion of the gay community and 'controversial"
How the article began, "The notion of the gay community" and that it can be "controversial" represent POV's, not fact. I replaced it with a description that is more factually accurate. Can anyone give me an example of a sentence that begins, "The notion of", that isn't followed by something negative? Example: "The notion that Sally can act is silly." Also, the term "controversial" can be mentioned later, but should not be included in its initial description. Michaelh2001 20:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
