I would agree with this but I have to add that in the U.S., these ideas of community are also closely tied to minority; in which case heterosexuality and Caucasian are not exactly rewarded "community" in such a way, as it's a given that the majority are either or both. (whatever that means) Is this what's going on in the U.K.?

The problem for me is what does that idea mean on the surface? You can't always tell who's white, who's not, who's queer. I admit community is necessary for those looking for companionship in a world where signifiers start to blur or disappear; or worse, aren't allowed. But what if those communities start to exclude based on their own set of preconceived ideas?

Community in the U.S. is a complicated mess. You can't just knock on the door and borrow a cup of sugar. There's a lot of paperwork to be done.
