I don't really care what anyone labels me. Truth is, I never did care for myself, I cared because of the impact people's thoughts might have on my family. I suppose it is necessary to define terms if we are going to consider other people's opinions. For example, I am married, absolutely love women, don't particularly feel anything for men. As a transgender and a crossdresser, I suppose loving women makes me gay, or lesbian if you prefer. The point is, we all use terms to mean different things and so communication becomes more difficult. If you are saying that it is easier if you love another man and be accepted in society, that may be so simply because of the exposure that gays have had and the battles they have fought and won. When we have had the courage to fight those same battles, we'll be better able to answer your question.
