Why are more women than men LGBT?

[Anonymous]

Why is it more females than males are LGBT?
Is male attraction just more hardwired and internal and female attraction more environmental/ emotional?

[MarianneF]

Because of society's double standards.
"Looking at an analysis of the 2000 US Census, there were 304,148 gay male families and 297,061 lesbian families in the USA [1]. This is a ratio of 1.0239:1 gay male to lesbian families (2.39% more gay men than lesbians, or, written the other way, 0.977:1 lesbian to gay male families). "

And the whole thread on Quora with good information about it:

Yes there's more gay men slightly but bisexual women are arguably more common than straight women, where bisexual men are almost none existent

[MarianneF]

You're right

Thank you for the MHO!

I think its a combinatiom of several factors:

-the sexualisation of lesbians has made it less taboo
-because women are more sexualised in society, women are exposed to that physicality and attraction can develop
-because its viewed as unmanly for a man to be gay/bi by a lot of society

Less stigma for women to come out as opposed to men. However, I'm sure the numbers are equal if you take into account all of the closeted LGBT men and women.

[Asker]

I don't know i believe gay and lesbian numbers are similar but in terms of bi/ pan its not even remotely close

I personally dont know for sure if indeed there are more women in the LGBT, but many women flee from abusive relationships with men. The find safety and understanding with other women over men.

The funny thing is 7/10 women are found to be the agressors but when men finally do react its more impactful

[GayHowellMeme]

Men are much likely to be gay but women are much likely to be bisexual for a reason 🤔

[Asker]

Not much more likely but a little.
But yes bisexual women heavily outweigh lgbt men.

[GayHowellMeme]

I mean when lgbt comes to men, men are more likely to be gay than bisexual.

[Asker]

What do u think the reason for it is though?
