@ Joe, no I don't think its your imagination. Public perception of gay males is that they are promiscuous and deviant (beyond just being gay). It may be that a trial brought about by lesbians would cause less mud throwing.

This is my perception of what society (at lest those that are weary of gays) thinks of when they see gays.

Young attractive gay men = over sexed and not serious about relationships
Older gay men = serial rapists
Young attractive lesbians = would totally let a man sleep with her and her "friend"
Older Lesbians = sexually unattractive so they must really love eachother.

So in my mind, if I was a lawyer who could choose who he would represent in a an anti-DOMA case, safe bet is on the old lesbian couple. Their relationship is the lest "offensive" to the disenting public and are more likely to recieve simpathy.

While the bottom three are pretty bad stereotypes, there is truth to the one about "young attractive gay men."

Most young men, regardless of sexual orientation, are either promiscuous or wish they were. A young gay man wants sex just as bad as a young straight man does, and they're both equally likely to cheat on their partner. Only with young gay men, you've got two partners doing this instead of just one.

Not saying women don't cheat as well, but we all know the ability to reproduce, etc; explaining why women are more promiscuous than men.

Other than that, what you said is spot-on.
