There is a very distinctive culture to Esperanto: people who continue to hope for positive social transformation and international and intercultural harmony.
Esperantist and conlanger William Annis (on the Conlangery podcast) said something to the effect that, if you go to a Esperanto congress, you should start with the default assumption that everyone you meet is a gay vegetarian. [1]
I cannot speak to the truth of this myself ;)
