Because male homosexuality threatens masculinity. Women, being women, don't have to deal with masculinity, being manly, or being emasculated. There is no need to prove yourself or how womanly you are because, really, no one cares. Just make yourself look pretty and please your man, that's all there is to being a woman.*
Male homosexuality is viewed as emasculating because there is no dominance in the picture. Male sexuality and masculinity is focused on power, having power, and getting power. What better way to somehow acquire power than using the female body to get it? So, when men are with men sexually and emotionally, it's a direct slap in the face of masculinity that you CAN be a man, but you don't need a woman to prove it.

Because straight guys think that they might have a little of the gayness in them. Women on the other hand find gay men entertainingly fun, honest with their feelings unlike straight men. Having a gay friend for a woman is like having a girlfriend with a guys perspective. Plus, they can advise you on fashion, hair and makeup tips. Now that is fun!

Probably because women, being instinctual nurturers, are more sympathetic than men, most of the times.

Cuz gay men are so much better at helping you pick out drapes or choose an attractive hair style!
