Questions to think about one's own ethnic culture include the following: With what group(s) do you identify, and why? What are your common bonds? What cultural rituals do you celebrate, and with whom? What are the purposes and meanings of your gatherings and celebrations? What types of things are shared and learned when people get together? What types of foods are prepared for the event? Are there dances, special rites, or ceremonies? Foods, languages, and other bonds of common ancestry are the cultural aspects of ethnicity that serve to offer consistency and structure to life and provide individuals with abilities to interpret life events as significant and meaningful. Sexual orientation is an individual state, not one determined by culture.
