There's actually an interesting bit of research going into the difference in acceptance with male gay-ness and female gay-ness (or lesbianism) and how being male and having a greater disposable income may have helped play into greater public male gay predominance and/or 'acceptance' (through the success of businesses like male gay bars vs. female gay/lesbian bars, for instance). Unfortunately I can't speak much more to this, heard about it through some friends of mine, but it's an interesting thing to think about - how the historic higher male salary, and thus disposable income, multiplied by 2 in a couple, may have encouraged businesses (and other structures) to cater to gay males, but not gay/lesbian females. However, like, it's all research and I know nothing conclusive, I just find it an interesting topic to consider. I do wonder how the rates of aggression/homophobia/attacks compare across genders as I wonder if greater public presence via gay males may have taken its toll elsewhere.
