The obsession with 'lesbianism' has nothing to do with true acceptance of gay women. As a matter of fact, it shows the extreme sexism still in existence in our culture. Why? Because the whole fantasy going on in men's mind with it is basically that they think they, in all their masculinity or whatever, can get the woman to convert to them sexually. I think if a woman was gay for real, she would encounter prejudice similar to gay men (although maybe not as intense). I mean, look at all the controversey surrounding the 'Ellen' series, for example.

As far as gay men being discriminated against so much, I think it is because of fear, mainly from religion. Remember, America was founded as a so-called 'Christian' nation, and Christianity condemns homosexuality. In addition, gayness goes against what is the 'norm.' Often it's the mentality of many to be afraid of people or things they don't find familiar.
