Unfortunately...it is a sociological phenomenon where oppressed groups of people oppress each other...and within the Western Modern LGBT Community....though the dynamics change slightly with each group you are talking about... the people who participate in this discrimination hold anyone who successfully imitates the original oppressors in high regard....and think it elevates them to kick people down who don't meet these standards....
Able Bodied Heterosexual White Males who are macho and have no feminine traits....these are the original oppressors and who the LGBT oppressors revere.....
This group of gay men also places alot of importance on appearance and image which is ironic because the very thing they hold dear... they know nothing about.
Actual beauty has nothing to do with appearance....or race...or age...it is ALWAYS about who you are....
It is sad. It has always been sad...but there is a silver lining. It is easy to rise above....if you can define yourself and not let them define you...it can be as difficult or as easy as you allow it to be.
