Social interaction between gay members can shape a gay identity.
Friendship and friendship between members of the community is close and solid.
Although the background of socioeconomic status is quite diverse, in general the
members of the gay community come from the middle to upper class. This can be
understood because members of the gay community come from urban communities,
where social norms are more lax than in rural areas because urban communities
tend to be more individualistic, so that such communities will be easy to develop.
The formation of gay identities is also triggered by many gay-specific applications.
