The idea that gayness is something you practice rather than something you inherently are is very interesting to me. I don't know how much I agree or disagree with that statement, but I think it does bring up some interesting scenarios (if that's the right word.) Let's say there's a homosexual man who doesn't engage in much of gay culture, and a heterosexual man who does. Would we then say that the heterosexual man is "gayer" than the homosexual man just because he has an affinity for certain singers or pop-culture references? I feel like this notion creates another definition of the word gay, referring solely to the cultural aspects of it. I tend to like the definition that just equates "gay" with "homosexual" because it makes sense to me and I feel like it can also alienate gay men who aren't don't take part in the culture but still want a group of people with whom they are similar. Don't get me wrong, I do understand the new cultural definition of the word, and I understand where it comes from, I just think it can complicate things that are already very complex.
