What do the words, "lesbian community" actually mean to any of you??
I'm not including online community.
I mean the word in general and it's usage.
 
It's a word you read and hear now and again, there are other words too to describe but this one I am interested in is
"lesbian communtiy".
 
 
thankyou.

was thinking about this at work today as my brain was having a bit of a wander
i think it may well be a description of something that doesn't really exist on one level.
i think we dip in and out of lots of different communities or maybe everyone is all in one big community with lots of little subsections.
personally speaking being a lesbian is just a small part of my overall identity.
i have never heard tell of the 'straight community' i think the word community in this context is used to describe minorities.
anyway that is as far as my mind wandered before i started to tie myself in knots with it.
i think, although i'm not certain, this means that i dont think it (lesbian community) actually means anything to me. hope this makes a wee bit of sense lol

Thanks for the reply Skweela,
When I looked online at definitions of what, 'community' meant, it displayed a whole spectrum of meanings according to different groups.
I suppose that's like in some sense what you mentioned about, "one big community with lots of little subsections".
I agree what you said about it being a word to desrcribe minorities though,  that be either religious background and creed too?? maybe so..
When you think though, haven't minorities grown!?..things have progressed so much more.
 
When I tried to think of a title for this thread I didn't want to use the word community in the title!
so lesbian seemed the best term!
 
I really agree too it's a small part of overall identity!!:-)
 
thanks for interest
 
any replies appreciated.

I know what the phrase actually refers to if thats any concellation.... in the so called natural world a "straight" Person may call the "Lesbian Community" refering to all lesbians in general...like skweela said, it is what one refers to as a subsection.

I am proud to be apart of this "Lesbian Community" but it can mean more than one thing.... like S&B said it could mean a group like this one.

is that any help?

awww thanks for the replies,
we all know what the lesbian community is:-) this we have established!;-)
 
no but honestly ,what I really think I should have mentioned in my first post was what does it each mean for you personally as being part of it, and do you think it is a 'community' as such, does it have that spirit??
 
thanks BrandedSnB1 and Phoebe for both your words
 
 
 
 
 
 
p.s
should I start this all over again everyone??
got it mixed up.
lol
yer ?? no??
:-)
ok

I think I know what you mean Ms Kelly.  Take Liverpool for instance.  The "Lesbian Community"!  Where is it...who is it?  I don't know of one.
 
Yet after beeing out for a number of years I see the same old faces time in and time out at various places and on various occasions.  I guess it's there, it's just not got bells on it and I bet I don't know 1/4 of whats out there.
 
I guess thats what it means to me

to me it just means that its a place where you belong and don't feel like a social outcast because people cant commute that normality is everything not just your sexuality so to me community means a place to feel welcome.

i was going to attempt to explain what it means to me but i think you've all managed to express it better than i could already.
