We want do not only want to be part of a tribe, we want our tribe to be the best tribe.

The issue is when this changes from "I want my tribe to be the best" to "It's my tribe so it is the best". Nationalism vs Patriotism as I understand the terms.

Had a quick look on Rotten tomatoes and he was in several flashy popular films and TV series which spanned a lot of genres so "everyone" probably saw him in something. Likely other actors were in more things and more viewed things but in more specific roles or types of film so you don't get that feeling of saturation.

"And what's behind that door?"
"Damn you are new, that's HerbGrower's place, we don't go there."

In this case it was we didn't wear a mask that some people thought we would be wearing so they assumed we weren't part of that group.

It was more other people being surprised because they had the idea that everyone who was gay was flamboyant, not us thinking it was a bad thing ourselves or wishing we were different. We were both happy with ourselves, just amused about stereotypes persisting.
I agree, I'm glad that perception is less prevalent now though I did also have an ex manager that was homophobic in that exact way a couple of years ago.

I had a conversation with a guy at a gay bar years ago and we chatted about hearing these comments a lot because we didn't act camp or have "that voice", and weren't seen as LGBT at all by a lot of people unless it came up. Turned out he was the owner of the place and had been active in setting up the LGBT+ scene there for decades but still had this happen.
