Where did the “gays are feminine and lesbians are masculine” stereotype come from?
In: 0
A combination of people just assuming that if you’re gay you must act like your cisgender counterpart and a bit of truth. There are more effeminate gay men than there are straight ones and more “masculine” lesbians than straight ones. Of course neither personality is an identifying factor but when there’s enough that fit the stereotype it becomes widespread.
