Why do people get put off more by gay men than women?

Hi. good day! I just want to hear some opinions/comments from people from different sides of the world.

It's just that i observe the general community here and even the world (in general) in how they accept homosexuals.

Would people agree with me when i say that people kind of accept the lesbians more than the gays? I mean, when you see 2 women together (given that they're proven lesbian and together) people just stare for a couple of seconds then go on with their own lives. But when they see 2 men who are gay and together, people either: stares with eyes wide open and jaw dropped OR they turn around and gives that 'expression' and says "Eeww. Ugghh.."

Would anyone know what causes this or atleast have a hypothesis why it is such? I have my own small theories on this topic but i want to hear from other people. :)

Please and thank you!Ü

aim agony auntHi again. Thanks for the replies! It does seem that this things happen globally,right?!

True that it sucks coz for one when straight men think of 2women together the only thing they can think about is being in bed with those 2 women.

But i wonder if straight women have the same thought when it comes to gay men?

Is the fact that men are more dominant than women also a factor to why people tend to be more 'expecting', standardized, or labelled?

Want to hear more replies/opinions on this. Please and thank you!ü

Anal invasion in many males is a sign of total submission, this is why it gives that repugnant feeling

Sory but It will be like this for years and years, their are open minded people who don't care [like me] but most are homophobic or don't see anything wrong with making fun of a gay person.

I find the peope whp have a big problem with gays are usually gay themselves or having feelings for the same sex.

Hi Hunny

I think its down to judgments hunny some people are just judgmentle, Ok you dont have to want this for yourself but there is no reason for putting down someone who is happy as to me thats what life is about being happy and wanting your family to be happy, It is different for men I agree. You can get the view that lesbians are a turn on for some, Ive known alot of same sex couples and I no how hard it is for the men the women I have met dont seem to have the same problems, but somewere there are some I suppose who do. Ive heard men friends say what a waste when they realise a friend is a lesbian but it also turns them on, but when they realise my male friend is gay some of them just cant get there head around why a man wouldnt want to touch a woman...And go on and on and on!!!!!!untill I say shut up!!!!!Its all down to inderviduals and how they feel hunny....I dont care either way my son is bi sexual so what, Doesnt bother me so why should it bother anyone else...A friend of mine came down and when he realised my son was going to karate he went straight to him and said (His father is the Sensi) My dad has nothing againt gays so dont worry!!!!!!!!!!!!He must have is what I thought. But I dont judge, Alot of people like alot of things that others would not thats what makes the world, You cant and should not sit in judgment for you will never learn and grow, Thats just my opinion hunny HOPE IT HELPED TAKE CARE WITH LOVE MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You know what? I'd love to know the answer to this myself! I'm a straight female but I never ever ever look down on gay people. Male or female. And it frustrates me so much to see people acting disgusted towards gay people.

My boyfriend used to act this way til I put him in his place. I mean, so what if someone doesn't like it or approve or whatever?! No one is asking them to be apart of it, right?!
