Many lesbian women have formed long-lasting relationships despite social pressures and the inability to have the legal bond of marriage that heterosexuals have. As with heterosexual women, the frequency of their sexual behaviors depends on their age, whether they are in a committed relationship, their religious and moral beliefs and how they feel about themselves and their place in the world. All lesbians are man-haters. Lesbians as a group do not hate men. There may be some that hate men, just as some heterosexual women hate men and some men hate women.
Lesbians just prefer women.
Lesbians are from all different ages, races, religions, income and educational groups. Studies indicate that approximately 10 percent of the population is homosexual. Lesbians are often fired from their jobs, disowned by parents and left by their friends when their sexual orientation is revealed. It is for these reasons that many choose to keep it a secret. They hope that the love the family and friends have for them will win out over the shock, confusion, fear and disappointment.
