Now, this may be more "palatable" to the masses- both male and female. Why is that? I don't get it. I do think it is true, that the general public finds it more acceptable to see two women together than two men. Especially two attractive women.
Then again, there't the stereotype that lesbians are basically ugly, masculine women. Hello! I don't think so. I happen to know some very beautiful and feminine women who happen to be attracted to other women.
