We often hear the terms "Gay community" or "LGBT community" to refer to sexual and gender minorities who have banded together under an umbrella term. Is there really such a community? The notion of whether we are a community is subject to debate in Queer theory circles.

In sociology there are over 100 differing ways of defining 'community' so depending on how you use the word, sure.
