LGBT community

The LGBT community or GLBT community, commonly referred to as the gay community, is a loosely defined grouping of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) and LGBT-supportive people, organizations, and subcultures, united by a common culture and social movements. These communities generally celebrate pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality. LGBT activists and sociologists see LGBT community-building as a counterbalance to heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexualism, and conformist pressures that exist in the larger society. The term gay pride is used to express the LGBT community's identity and collective strength; gay pride parades provide both a prime example of the use and a demonstration of the general meaning of the term. The LGBT community is diverse in political affiliation. Not all LGBT individuals consider themselves part of an LGBT community.

Groups that may be considered part of the LGBT community include gay villages, LGBT rights organizations, LGBT employee groups at companies, LGBT student groups in schools and universities, and LGBT-affirming religious groups.

Tumbleweed

by: Coco Montoya

I go from city to city, coast to coast
Highways and byways Lord I'm healin' to post (?)
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
I got everything I own in a brown paper sack
Keep it stashed by the railroad track
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
Baby I'm a drifter, I'm a vagabond
I'm-a here one minute, then I'm gone
I don't need no family, can't afford no wife
I wasn't made for domestic life
Well you talk to your mama, your mama tell you true
She knows best what's good for you
I got to roll just like a tumbleweed baby
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
Baby I'm a drifter, I'm a vagabond
I'm-a here one minute, then I'm gone
I don't need no family, can't afford no wife
I wasn't made for domestic life
Won't you stop all your cryin', pack your things
Save it for the man with the diamond rings
I've gotta roll - oh baby - like a tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
I gotta roll where the four winds blow, just like a
tumbleweed
Talk to your mama, your mama tell you true
