I'm not so sure that gay folk have the foothold on creativity. It seems here where I live. That most gay peoples creative expression. is purchasing a t-shirt that has something whitty on it. I can tell you where I live there are far more musicians/performers who are straight. Then there are gay ones. I am a minority as a vocalist/musician who is gay. I also know far more painters, wood sculpturists and other artisans who far outwiegh the numbers of gay ones I know. So I wonder if your basing your thoughts on a small fragment of society that you are involved with?

perceptions can be a dangerous path to take. I know many a straight guy who is afraid that every gay man wants him. I laugh when they say this. I generally ask them “are you attracted to every woman on the planet.” they generally realize the rediculousness of their assumptions.

I myself struggle with rigid thoughts about the community. It is no easy task to overcome them. I think there is an identity that is gay. But I think the minute you try to define it. It may come back to haunt you.
