I think the men only find it socially acceptable because it is more attractive to them.

Women say it is about the same.

In some ways yes, in other no. You are much more likely to heckled, experience verbal abuse, but the actual physical violence is more likely to be directed towards a masculine presenting partner. If both women are extremely feminine, men will yell at you, but half of them will yell at you to make out for their own sexual pleasure. those men, which exist at every nightclub, large social gathering, public building are pigs. It is a lot more acceptable for women to live with each other at any age, show physical affection, have quasi romantic platonic friendships, as long as they are presenting more feminity and don't try to "change the definition of masculinity."

I think gay men are much more prone to violence than sexual harassment since the mentality is less about "sexual performance" (lesbians) but "sodomizing scum" (gay men). The resulting thought is physical violence since even most old school bigots have a "don't hit women (even if she's morally corrupt)" that does not quite extent to the gay man.

Yes. Lesbians used to get away with lesbianism years ago when caught whereas men used to either be killed and even up until the 50s they were chemically castrated. Lesbians used to marry have kids and indulge in sex with their "friend" while their husbands were at work.
Domestic violence is actually hire among lesbian couples than hetrosexual couples.
In 2019 it's even seen as cool to be a lesbian which is why many young hetrosexual women pretend to be bi when they are not and hetrosexual men fantasize about girl on girl action.

you'd have to thank the porn industry for them lesbian pornos, guys easily get addicted and like watching them way more than seeing other dudes bang chicks so maybe that's why they find girl on girl to be hot or when girls are fresh kissing other girls so they find it to be much more acceptable and tolerable as they have gotten used to it seeing in their own private time lol

[Ultimate_Gohan]

Lesbians are more accepted because women themselves have bisexual tendencies in most cases

[ASK145]

So are men.

[Ultimate_Gohan]

Men are not bisexual as women

[ASK145]

Yes, they are. You just have sexist notions of what men should and shouldn't be.

[Ultimate_Gohan]

How about u make a poll next time about bisexuality and see for yourself

[ASK145]

I did, and most people said that men have at least though about it.

[janna_jcb]

I think it is about the same, but people who don’t accept it express their feeling in a different way towards gay men than gay women. Gay men are often faced with violence and bullying. While gay women are often faced with things like “you’re too pretty to be lesbian” or “you’re only gay because you haven’t been with me yet”, so more sexual remarks

[Nadim171]

Well it's just because men are naturally softer towards women. I don't like the LGBT and will never support them but I always feel less hostile towards lesbians... I don't know why

[Aphrodite8789]

I think guys find it more acceptable for women to be lesbians than for men to be gay

[ASK145]

That is because they are sexualize lesbian relationships. Many men are insecure with their masculinity, and don't want to admit that they might be a little bit bisexual.

[Aphrodite8789]

Yea but all guys don’t and some women sexualize gay relationships as well. Also ok

[Nadim171]

Can you guys stop? Really that's so annoying... the "you're homophobic because you're gay" propaganda...

[ThisAndThat]

I don't go by societies approval. This is what I go by.

1 Corinthians 6:9

Or do you not know that the unrighteous ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

[angry_llama]

I don't feel that way, and it definitely shouldn't be that way

[atheistaredumb]

GOD WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE WHO HAS NOT ACCEPTED CHRIST
AND WANTS TO BE LBGT

lesbian or gay
does not matter

GOD IS NOT THE SINNER YOU ARE
so you have to change

Glory to my GOD above the dome

Of course the girls.
Just think of it when girls are kissing it is considered hot and sexy and even boyfriends are cool with making their girl kiss another girl. Many movies show girls kissing and as guys let us be honest we love that girls are kissing.
Have you ever felt the same for gay guys? nope right.

[NikolasGLT]

It's not the same at all, not even remotely close to be the same.
I can hardly recall any incidents where women were murdered brutally unlike men, in which one word about it is enough to cut their head off or torture them to death.

[B15H0P]

Considering lesbian is in Pornhubs 2018 year in review "most searched" tags and gay doesn't even make it into the top 25, I'd assum so.

[DanoMR98]

Female sexuality is something society has always been very uncomfortable with. Male homosexuality has always seemed more understandable to the public, while female homosexuality seems mysterious and more "pathological".

[kingofthellamas]

What a pile of shit. In what way has society been uncomfortable with female sexuality? There is no evidence of that

[DanoMR98]

@kingofthellamas Well since you are using the past tense, there are plenty of examples of ways. The easiest to point out would be the side of Connecticut in Griswold v. Connecticut. There was a time when people were afraid of "the pill" even being invented, you know.

[kingofthellamas]

Erm, I used past tense to be consistent with the time in your post.

Your example of one small pocket of America is not the same thing as saying most humans on planet earth are afraid of female sexuality.

It's pretty easy to find cases against sexual liberation. People used to protest against dildo shops in the UK But that's more due them being prudes. It's not against female sexuality, just against people having sex at all.

[DamnSam]

Thre community sees it personally... lesbian woman are hot, gay men against the nature... double standart alert...

[Phanta]

Lesbians used to be more socially accepted, but now it's getting to where they are all getting complete acceptance, so I must say more or less the same.

[PcSucks]

Christians will never accept them plus a lot of other conservatives

[Leafpool2]

It's pretty much the same. The discrimination is sometimes different between us but it's all discrimination

[OnitheWanderer]

As you said it's easier to accept lesbians than gay. Because society see them as like something sexual/erotic to most men rather than gay because it's deem almost a disturbing/abomination and totally wrong.

[Nadim171]

Uh... I don't like both but I feel less hostile towards lesbians... maybe just because they're women so I'm naturally softer towards them but they're all retards anyway... I never liked the LGBT

[LazyMan]

Women don't really talk about it unless it comes into conversation or if they are directly asked about it. But over the years, I have known so many women who have been way into gay porn comics. So yes, very socially accepted.

[PcSucks]

Yea because 2 hot women kissing is nice but when men are doing it it is gross and disturbing at least to most straight guys anyway so yea I am accepting of lesbians if they aren't manly looking

[tertater]

Lesbians are in fact more accepted simply cause... straight men find it hot.

[Omega365]

In today's society it should be equal. Just think of how many guys and girls were in the gay rights movement

[Effie91]

It’s little easier for a women. Some of my gay male friends put up with Lot of shit. From people who are ignorant.

[Effie91]

Though as a lesbian when on date with a woman a Guys come hitting on us.

[Anonymous]

Yes and pretty much all throughout time. Ancient Rome is all I can think of off the top of my head that might have tolerated homosexuality between guys more.
