Mmm, I'm not a big fan of like "every experience I personally have is a universality of all gays," for example "gays can't read and can't drive" and "gays are fashion disasters." It's gotten to the point where people have had to legitimately explain the difference between "the gay community" as a broad ethereal conglomerate and "your local gay clique" as the people and trends you are familiar with and identify with. And young people who keep wandering into cliques and cultural pockets of gayness (because internet) that don't match their own internal experience end up questioning if they're even gay because they have certain hobbies or they dress a certain way or they don't feel the right kind of alienation/tenderness/whatever.
