his response is there is none and I was wrong to suggest that there was. That I was showing homophobia....

Bullshit. That was not a homophobic question, and you were not showing homophobia. >:( And you can quote me on that.
I have no idea who this person was to whom you asked the question, but I'm hard put to imagine a more ignorant response on his part.
The truth is there is no one, monolithic "gay community." There are only many "gay communities." And those communities can be as mutually intolerant of each other as the most self-righteous socially conservative right-wing religious fundamentalist can be of all of us.

Well Garry has his book...now if I can pry him outta the Store to come discuss it!! LOL!!
One of the things he talks about in the book is how gay movements started up and got a few successes..and then stagnated. What worked in the 60s is not working anymore and rather than change they became parodies of themselves...
That the popular conception of what it means to be a homosexual is so out there that a lot of men look at it and say 'there is no way I am gonna be associated with that!'
I can see where he is coming from. There is that group (or groups) of gay men that are just not comfortable with the 'Will and Grace' lifestyle....and those are the men that need to be seen now...
