    I've always thought gay men had higher numbers than lesbians, or at the least, higher visibility.

    I honestly haven't noticed, nor have I seen more lesbians than gay men either.

    A) Lesbians are homosexual

    B) Honestly, I think there are equal numbers, but gay guys are more visible, like people think of them more.

    Not that I'm aware of. In my community there are more out lesbian/bisexual women than there are out gay/bisexual men.

    Its kinda hard to tell. I doubt its cause for concern though. I mean, if there are more lesbians than gay guys, what are they gonna do, form a cartel?*

    Given: There are more lesbians than homosexuals.
    Statements¦ Reasons
    1. There are more lesbians than homosexuals 1.Given
    2. Lesbians=homosexuals 2. Definition of homosexuality

    Yeah, this proof isn't working out. To answer what you really meant, I believe that the number of gay men is equal to the amount of gay women. Statistics say that more women identify as lesbian than men identify as gay.

    I haven't noticed. I personally know more gay men, but back in high school gay men were more closeted...in general it was "safer" for gay women to come out of the closet, but they tended to call themselves bisexual until they went onto college, where they now identify as lesbian.

    I think gay men are more recognized though. It may be because of a macho male-oriented society, making them sometimes more controversial...calling them "feminine" and "effeminate." Some people think lesbians are ok, because hey if it turns a straight guy on, it's ok! (but they tend to be more attracted to straight hot girls kissing than actual lesbians) It's sad.

    This is why I think at least in my case, most gay men in my high school were too afraid to come out, even as bisexual. I only know of one that was openly bisexual, and when he graduated he came out as gay.

    I would guess the amount of gay men vs gay women would be about even, though.

    Generally, statistics show that there are more gay men than lesbians.

    Hmmm ... maybe it just seems so ?
    I never saw a girl that I thought to myself could be lesbian (tbh, even lesbians that I see do not seem like lesbians .. eh ... maybe its just me).
    On the other hand I see many guys that I think are gay :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    There are no female workers at my local Starbucks. Based in my sample size there are more gay men then lesbians.

    I don't know how proportional it is. It's all up to the causes of homosexuality, from what I know, lesbians are thought to be because of masculization of the part of the brain the defines sexuality in the womb, and the opposite for gay men.

    The cause of this, I have no idea, so it's hard to say if it would be even, or not.

    I know of a lot more lesbians than I do gay guys though.
