Gay men are looked down upon but lesbians are promoted?

I always see gay men being made fun of or ridiculed but lesbians are seen as "cool" or "accepted". Do you agree with this?

Yes

Yep, I see it that way too. Also, what is funny is that it is similar to how when a guy sleeps with lots of girls, he is a player, while if a girl does the same, she is a slut. It is society's double standards.

Like Zephyr, I was too lazy to write another argument, so I copy and pasted my argument from another debate, similar to this.

~

"Men are socially expected to be tough. Gay men can dispute that image, causing many criticisms. However, there are two socially acceptable visions of women. Strong, independent, and tough women, (lesbians typically fit this appearance) and caring, sweet, innocent women. (straight women usually appear more like this.)"

This is why I think gay men have it easier

Side: Yes

Now I copied ans pasted this argument from another debate, it was still made by me, but I am feeling lazy.

" Generally in relation to their sexuality and prejudice, yes I'd say so. I have two hypothesises about this. Now some here have acknowledged that two men are typically regarded as "gross" in society where as two womenare typically regarded as "hot". Now this either suggests that homophobia is more rampant in men than women. I also hypothesize that natural distaste of homosexuality I will argue can come about without a conditioning from let's say religion, politics, etc, however when it is natural like this and completely based off distaste rather than indoctrination, I think it would be likely that the same-sex couple whom sex matches the naturally prejudiced individual would get the most attention from them if not all. These two hypotheses combined would suggest that men are more inclined to natural homophobia or rather homophobia primarily based on distaste. Now this may seem somewhat sexist but as a man one thing I've noticed about sexuality with men and sexuality with women, women are a lot more comfortable with each other sexually than men are, in my experience bisexual women were a lot more common than bisexual men. My second hypotheses is that homophobia is restrained more since our society sees women as softer and thus must be treated with more care, however I somehow doubt that especially since it seems less evident."

Side: Yes

I would not say that I look down on gay men. It's just that I appreciate gay women more. Especially the lipstick variety ;)

Side: Yes

In my school, sometimes I think the guys treat gay couples better than the girls treat the lesbians.
