To start with, anyone harrassing anyone else is childish and immature. Most workplaces have strict policies against such behavior, and I would encourage anyone who is being harrassed in the workplace to report it to their manager and/or Human Resources.
Before I get to the specific case in question, keep in mind that men have been giving women a hard time in the workplace ever since women entered the workforce. Essentially, it is either a gender-based power struggle, or driven by sexual frustration... or both.
As to why men give lesbians a hard time? That's easy. Add to all the above the fact that lesbians represent something men can never hope to attain. This adds another level of frustration to the relationship, both in a sexual sense and in a power sense.
Fortunately, attitudes toward women (and lesbians) in the workplace are changing favorably over time. Salary surveys show that women are closing the gap with their male counterparts. More and more companies offer benefits that cover same-sex partners, and have added sexual orientation to the list of categories against which discrimination will not be tolerated.
I work for a pretty progressive company, and all the above is true where I work. As you may have guessed by now, I am a lesbian, and am out at work. I have a picture of my partner and our daughter on my desk, and feel very comfortable talking with coworkers about my family when the topic of relationships comes up.
Sure, there will always be unenlightened, closed-minded people, but as social progress continues to move forward, your mates are quickly becoming part of a dwindling population of anachronisms.
Feel free to pass this on to your lesbian (and gay) friends at work, and let them know they don't have to stand for harrassment in the workplace.

some men feel threatened by the idea that women can gain sensual and sexual pleasure from each other without the need of a penis. this is especially so if that man is either well endowed or under endowed: unendowed men can feel like they are at least one up on lesbians because they are mere women, while over endowed men can't understand why we lesbians don't want their stuff, it's a blow to their egoes.
size isn't everything, having a kind heart is much more important.

The men don't understand why two women wouldn't want a man in their life. They also probably have a few dirty thoughts running through their heads, but are also aware that they would never be with either woman. So they, much like little boys in grade school, give them a hard time.

that's not approximately being gay or at present or bi. neither is that this approximately gender. this is approximately id. in simple terms via fact somebody has come out as gay or lesbian would not recommend that individual has by no ability ever had emotions or been in any courting with contributors of the alternative intercourse. Or that they must date somebody who's of the alternative intercourse. It in simple terms ability that they perceive with the gay community. I published this in yet another answer yet in 2002 I had an affair with a married female yet she substitute into gay! She had come out while she substitute into thirteen and had by no ability ever had emotions for adult adult males till her perfect chum died of a drug overdose and that i substitute into there for her. We grew to alter into very close and after a pair of months we kissed and grew to alter into fanatics. So I do think of that somebody could be gay or lesbian yet nevertheless have emotions and could desire to have sexual relationships with contributors of the alternative intercourse.

Because to them they are seen as a challenge. They know that they will never get them but yet they will never give up. Think of the sick ego they'd get if they succeeded and actually slept with one of them.
It's every man's goal to "turn" a lesbian into being straight.

Because they know they have no chance with them. For most males being friends with a woman means the possibility of more (even when they know it won't happen.)

Your mates are not confident of their sexuality and probably realise the lesbians have something they want or are confident in expressing themeselves, which your mates are not
