I think the religious right condemns both pretty equally. Gay men are just far more visible than lesbians. It is far more socially acceptable for women to be unmarried to a member of the opposite sex than men, though. Men are suspected as gay if they don't date and get married. I definitely remember a media brouhaha when Anne Heche and Ellen Degeneres came out together. I'm also pretty sure it caused Ellen's career to tank on TV for 5 years.
Do you have credible research on this? Because I have many many female friends who think two gay guys are really hot together. Just sayin...I think it depends on whom you talk to.
Yet societal pressures generally vilify strong women, gay or straight.
Now this is just flat-out wrong. Men feel a need to appear strong to the opposite sex, but I think popular, common phrases like "bros before hos" and "help a brother out" pretty much show men stick together too. Name a man who refuses "guys night out." Football and beer? The entire existence of the Fraternity system is proof that guys form bonds with other guys and help each other out.
Guys do it too, just differently. We say "nice shirt" and pass a beer instead of throwing our hands to our mouths and screaming "OH! MY! GOD!!!! I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!" As far as never voicing an opinion about another's appearance...yea you prolly won't hear too many hetero guys saying "that dude was kinda hot" but you'll most certainly hear a "man that dude was RIPPED!" from time to time...
Yea, if you only look for what you want to see.
See, I got into a lot of trouble at lunch back in HS for making (in retrospect) asinine statements like "lesbians have it better than gay men." How many lesbians are you really close too, blu? Just curious...
