Are there more gay than lesbian movies (by a wide margin) because there are statistically more gays than lesbians in the population or it is something else?
Source? I mean, I suppose for the reason jdc mentions I could see there being more gay than lesbian movies but I don't know that it just stands out as obvious.
There might be more gay men than lesbian women but there are probably more non-straight women than non-straight men. Female sexuality tends to be more fluid.
Just wondering what that last statement would be based on.
He's right, I don't have a link at the ready, but every statistic I've looked at indicates there are more gay men than lesbians but a larger amount of bi women than bi men, across countries.
Color me skeptical. It would take some real deep probing to understand sexual fluidity. Even if someone is bisexual, you'd need to understand where they fell on that continuum. Since you're relying on people to be honest when they take surveys or do interviews, and their responses may be colored by cultural factors among others, getting to the truth would be elusive. To me, it just seems easier to say women are more sexually fluid because that's how it's often portrayed in popular culture, the media, etc.
