I can only echo what others have said here- don't let anyone or any group of people define the norm- I don't really think there is a norm. GLBT comes in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, etc and not everyone enjoys the same stuff, the same activities, the same look.

There is no 'straight' culture anyways- and sexual preference doesn't come with a culture, to me. There's enough labeling that goes on in this world as is. I have a great time with my gay and lesbian friends, I have a great time with my straight friends. I don't fit into any culture, and I don't preoccupy myself with that. I preoccupy myself with cultivating good friendships and having a good time.

Maybe I'm lucky because I live in a city that makes sure it is accommodating of people of all sexual identities and preferences, but that's how I see it.
