I still wonder whether it’s a mistake to call LGBTQIA a ‘community’. I have no issue at all with people having any sort of sexuality, I’d even go into bat for the shoe fetishists. This is more about making sexuality the basis of community. Absolutely it can be a social movement, but to define sexuality itself as a full community - I think that’s dangerous. Hannah Gadsby talks about that in Nanette, how it can lead to the sort of homogenisation and stereotyping that the movement is actually fighting against.
