探討同性戀文化中的性中心化問題與社區缺失

In today's society, gay and lesbian culture is often portrayed as a vibrant and colorful community, however, this description is not always the actual experience for everyone. An unnamed blogger shared his thoughts on queer culture and posed a thought-provoking question: When queer culture focuses too much on sex and objectification, what happens to those who seek a deeper sense of connection and belonging to a community?

這位部落客坦言，他從未感受到與同性戀文化的任何有意義的聯繫，甚至在參加了他的第一次驕傲遊行後，帶著厭惡的心情離開。他認為，同性戀文化過於以性為中心，缺乏除此之外的社群連結。這種觀點在同性戀社群內部引起了一些爭議，畢竟討論同性戀文化的性質本身就是一個敏感且複雜的話題。

根據耶魯大學心理學家克拉克·帕昌基斯的研究，男同性戀者之間的少數群體互動是造成壓力和心理健康問題的主要原因。帕昌基斯指出，缺乏社會聯繫，而不是性表達，導致社會過度關注財富、男性氣質和外表。他強調了同性戀和酷兒社群缺乏「第三處」的問題——一個以社區為中心的非工作或家庭環境。

This blogger also mentions the community spaces at Colgate University, such as the Pink House, Rainbow House, and the Women's Studies Center, but feels slighted by university-sanctioned events, especially those centered around sexuality. He questioned why these so-called "community events" always seemed to revolve around ideas of sexuality and explicitness and lacked desexualized social spaces.

This article has triggered an important discussion on how to create a more inclusive and pluralistic queer culture while respecting the freedom of expression of individuality, so that those who seek to desexualize their connection and sense of belonging to the community can also find their own place. This is a challenge not only for the homosexual community, but also for society as a whole.
