I know some heterosexuals wanna know why do lesbians and gays dress the way that they do. You see masculine women looking like men. Then you have the flamboyant men, wearing tight jeans and feminine looking shirts. Lots of heterosexual people never understand why they dress similar to the sex they are not attracted to. Straight people think that they want to be the opposite sex and that is why they despise them.
This has a lot to do with the role they may play in the relationship that there in. As far as you can remember men are the masculine figures and women are the submissive ones. So, in some lesbian relationships, you have the butch/stud women. They play the role of the man in their relationship, so they would mostly be wearing The submissive women are called fems. Some masculine lesbian women might claim, this is what they feel comfortable in, which might be true.
Now when it comes to men, they kind of got it worst. To act flamboyant is one thing, but to dress the part of a female or similar to is not that accepting to society. Most gay men wear clean cut, more fitted attire as appose to straight guys that aren't really particular about their clothes. I think that gay men care so much about how they look because of who they are trying to attract, which are usually the masculine men.
