You mean "more"?
Sorry, forgot that the term "gay" also applies to women.
Good point. Thought of it while reading this thread as well. Like a lesbian couple can hold hands in public and be quite affectionate without anyone beating them up or raising any eyebrows. Same can't be said for male couples.
But not only that. Straight men constantly feel the pressure to be manly around their friends. Any close conduct and you're "accused" to be gay. There was even an article about Ronaldo and his best friend being too affectionate and saying they may even be gay. They even suggested that that was affecting his performance. Same with a guy from One direction and another singer (ed Sheeran?). Apparently straight guys can't spend too much time together. We may think it's silly but for people whose career depends on people's perception of them, that's a pretty big deal.
