women are expected to be more feminine and are considered weaker than men. men are suppose to be stronger and more masculine and the type of men you described goes against that rule so its natural for people to feel more prejudiced towards them.

Because a lesbian still maintains a feminine role. If a man is gay, society is less tolerant because he no longer has 'masculine' attributes.
Not that one lifestyle is any easier - just trying to explain the stigma associated with your topic.

Because we live in a mysgonist society where women are considered weaker and inferior to men. Therefore, any man who takes on "feminine" type roles are considered weak and inferior, even defective.

I am gay and i am not prejudiced. People have been against me, i would rather not be as shallow.

Sounds like a cultural issue, not a sexism issue.
You Americans are funny. You celebrate Anna Nicole Smith as an American hero after she died a drug addicted sex object but you fine CBS and Janet Jackson $500,000 for (accidently) flashing her tittie at the Superbowl.
