The LGBT members that don't have those characteristics you would never know they were LGBT.
- bnjms 7y agoDon’t know why you’re being downvoted. This seems mostly true to me. One thing I’ve noticed is younger gay men still seem gay but don’t seem as effeminate as the older men. Maybe that’s just selection bias but it seems like the culture doesn’t ask for as strong of signaling as it did in the past.

- mirimir 7y agoFrom what I know, yes. Your "gender" status basically depended on who you could penetrate, and vice versa.
- Thriptic 7y agoI agree. I wasn't making a value judgement, simply stating a fact.
