Yet, instead of making us all in a way queer it makes us all queer each in our own way. Vertically gay history vanishes in a social constructionalist world. A gay person today could claim no commonality with people who practiced same-sex sexual activity two hundred or two thousand years ago. Social constructivism although attempting to empower gays and lesbian in fact winds up destroying the identity of gay culture because is makes gay culture a culture without a past or a future. Gay identity becomes as misshapen and fleeting as culture itself.
Constructivism also destroys the existence of a gay community horizontally.
Constructivism by defining sexuality as a product of society makes the sexuality of each individual in society different and incomparable. Everyone in a given society must have a different experience of that society. If it is our place in society that constructs our notion of sexual identity, then there must be as many identities as there are people. The concept of gay community or gay identity vanishes because there is no such thing as gay or straight, only desire, which cannot truly be shared. Constructivism by vanishing gay history and identity leaves in its wake a vacuum.
