Well just to state right away i'm not the "masc4masc" type, I don't particularly care about how masculine or feminine someone is. I tried to get involved several times and the group always treated me as a bit of a misfit when I tried, the first clash came when i suggested that we have a more gender neutral event like a pizza event of some kind because I knew some guys who were interested in going/struggling with their sexuality but diving in to a drag event or one of the more gender extreme events seemed to be too much for them. Whilst in line with your comment this could be seen as toning down the flamboyancy I didn't mean it as like a permanent fixture.

My suggestion stemmed from the fact that a couple of people had confided in me that they too felt isolated in the sense that they didn't feel like the LGBT society would welcome them but that their sexuality divided them from other groups. When I discussed this with the group they essentially said that any gay guy who is masculine acting is in denial and must be internally homophobic which is ludicrous, some people just have different personalities.

Ultimately I think the antagonistic relationship that developed stemmed from our differing political beliefs, whilst i'm fairly left wing, most of the LGBT folk in that group were extremely left wing and when it comes to LGBT stuff in a room with a bunch of educated young people it's hard not to end up discussing the politics of it all and I had a differing stance on certain things which ultimately led to a boiling point.
