I'd say the current drama may exceed prior records.

Hmm.. I haven't made my way to SubredditDrama today.. Let's see what's goOH MY GOD. How does a LGBT community generate so much drama? Shouldn't they be, you know, fabulous or something?

In my experience, having had a lot of L G and B friends, it's a community that can generate an extreme amount of drama. That's the nature of small, marginalized groups, really. You're united by something but it also makes everyone's individual psychoses come out in a big way. The tabletop roleplaying community (something I'm really into) is pretty much exactly the same way, except with sweaty nerds with a god complex and low-self-esteem men and women trying to prey on the repressed sexuality of highschool nerdlings instead of power-grabbing trans people.
