I think of gay men as men trying to be women. I have to admit that it makes a straight male (like myself) pretty uncomfortable; especially with all the drag queens and transsexuals out there who dress themselves up to appear to be something else. The reason it is so hard for me to accept gay guys is because it threatens my love life. What if I mistake a transsexual for being a women? How would I react when I had found out? I'd have to say that it could really drive a straight guy crazy; especially for those who believe they're in a secret-free relationship (see the movie ';Cover'; and you'll know what I'm talking about). I'm not so sure how straight women feel about lesbians, but it's a lot easier to pull off a male to female, than a female to male! LOL. Plus women have been made icons of sexuality by men: through video, fashion, photography etc. - so most people (even women) will probably see a woman's figure whenever they hear that three-letter word. I mean think for a second: have you ever heard a woman say ';I'm tapping into my masculine side?'; I haven't. But I have heard of men saying they had a feminine side... And why is it that some women try to make guys something they are not? Painting his fingers? Having him play dress-up?? LOL (nothing personal). But put simply: women try to be more open with sex, while men try to claim them by fulfilling their wishes. Perhaps men should try being less easy to possess, but adoration makes us all do crazy things.Why is it that Gay men Couples are Victimized more than Lesbian Couples?
Typically guys that are harassing gay guys do it for the simple reason their homophobes or they are trying to work off their macho . Women are picked on less do to the fact men have this thinking two women together is hot and the thought about fighting / victimizing with females socially is not correct
