Rough Draft Of A Homosexual Research Paper

First Draft

Why is it that more masculine homosexual women get the label of wanting to be the opposite sex? Majority of women that do not fit the category of the type of “lesbian” guys like are often bullied, called a man, accused of wanting to be a man or even are attacked by males. The “lesbian” that guys like are the more feminine women that guys see as pleasure or wanting to be a part of the group. In most cases i’ve personally experienced guys only want something to do with lesbians if they can join in and be a part of their relationship sexually. Most of these things happen because from how I see it, due to being threatened that they believe that lesbians are here to take their place. Or they view pursuing a lesbian as a challenge.

I also have a girlfriend who identifies as a femme. I cherish my relationship deeply however we have to think cautiously before going or doing anything together in public. We have been together for over a year but yet still have a fear of being attacked in public simply because we’re a homosexual couple, especially in smaller towns. Only once in our whole year and four months we have only received one positive compliment. Any other time we get ugly stares or snide comments. It is hard to enjoy or time together in public because of the fear of judgement from others. This example is what a lot of people have to go through just like me, and the sad part is that things have actually progressed compared to years ago. “Heterosexual men's response patterns were affected by item order, suggesting possible gender differences in the cognitive organization of attitudes toward gay men and lesbians.”(Lehavot and Molina and Simoni,2012)
