It's true that we live in a patriarchal society. I do also think that male homosexuality is a bit more socially acceptable than female homesexuality.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with that. For my own part I've not encountered prejudice towards either since I left school, but it really does seem - from my own experience at least - that female homosexuality is more accepted than male. Males might be "Hur hur you just need a REAL man " towards lesbians, but in Western culture it very rarely goes beyond that (Again, as far as I've seen), whereas towards male homosexuality it goes, or at least used to go until very recently, right through to overt hatred, prejudice, and the occasional act of violence.

Of course, most societies are currently in a state of flux rapid enough to change mores and norms repeatedly within a person's lifetime. It's hard to guage what is what because in a few year's time, things are likely to be different.
