gay culture isn't that widespread

Not all LGBT people identify with LGBT culture; this may be due to geographic distance, unawareness of the subculture's existence, fear of social stigma or a preference for remaining unidentified with sexuality- or gender-based subcultures or communities. The Queercore and Gay Shame movements critique what they see as the commercialization and self-imposed "ghettoization" of LGBTQI culture.[1][2]

the gay villages/neighbourhoods that the article mentions are a rarity. In the U.S. at least you'll only see them in two states: California and New York. The majority of the U.S. and virtually the rest of the world don't have such heavily concentrated areas with gay people in it.
drag also is niche within the gay community
The very definition of culture:

A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.

As I said earlier, other than liking the same sex, gay people otherwise share no common link in terms of lifestyle.
I mean just ask how much of ATRL knows this.
