One could argue that being gay in the West specifically is curiously associated with a particular identity, which includes music tastes and style of clothing, manner of speaking... Gay people in Brazil has very similar tastes as gay people in US, like adoring "pop divas" like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, etc.
But I'm not arguing that, I just noticed that it resembles a gender identity on itself, even if in principle is just a sexual orientation.
One shouldn't though, apparently. I was called homophobic for pointing it out.
I wonder if there are any theoretical works that actually dive deeper into the connection between the cultural aspects for LGBTQ+ people and compulsory cisheterosexuality.
