POLL: What Experiences Most Define Gay Identity, Culture?

What do readers think of drug use in The Olympics?

When writer Brian Moylan recently tweeted his distaste for Kylie Minogue's new single, a follower threatened to "revoke his gay card."

While gay identity depends on loving men--not loving Kylie Minogue--Moylan argues that gay men need some shared experiences to bring us together and to avoid total assimilation into mainstream culture.

But which experiences are most important for gays to continue, and which other experiences did Moylan leave out? Vote for as many as you like in our poll below and then tell us which ones you would have included in the comments.

We'd love to know what activities helped validate your "gay card."
