Very true, jaze. Sad, but true. Here I am, out in Old Wyoming---home of the Matt Shepherd beating/murder, with a very possibly lesbain daughter........
Maybe........women's relationships are "percieved" as less threatening because of the Dominant Macho attitude that is percieved of most men?
i.e.---Men somehow think they can always dominate women (even if it's not true); women seldom think they can dominate men and usually don't want to try.....we just go our own way and ignore them. We just don't care that much about dominance.
Gay men are not usually "dominant/macho" in the sense that I am using it.....neither are gay women. But, the men seem to make easier targets, because women a)don't give a shit and b)will fight back sooner......???? (still rambling.......
(this is coming from the "Don't threaten my cubs" place...)
