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)
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)
