Its understandable why we make those assumptions because those camp and effeminate LGBT members stand out so much.

The LGBT members that don't have those characteristics you would never know they were LGBT.

Don’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.

Maybe like Brad Pitt as Achilles. Who was bisexual. Which, I gather, was common at the time among warriors.

The Greek concept of sexuality was quite different than ours, and their class system played a very predominant role in what we would call gender. Also, age.

From what I know, yes. Your "gender" status basically depended on who you could penetrate, and vice versa.

I agree. I wasn't making a value judgement, simply stating a fact.
