It’s all toxic masculinity. Most gay panic politics is directed at gay men rather than lesbian women, despite more women identifying as bisexual, lesbian or queer. It’s just about attacking what they see as men who threaten their narrow definition of wha tit is to be a man.

Which is an irony in and of itself since in countries with less toxic culture war politics high income gays are often a comfortable constituency in center-right/liberal-conservative parties

I thought there were more Americans who identified as gay men than lesbians. Bisexuality in women is more widely socially accepted than in men in the U.S., though.
