Why are there so few famous lesbians compared to famous gay men?

Me and my friend were thinking the other day... Why are there so many famous Gay men when compared to famous lesbians.

Is it because Gay men have an affiliation to the entertainment industry?
Is it because there are more gay men than gay women?
Is it because the world is less accepting of lesbian women and so they feel pressure to stay in the closet?
Or have I simply miscounted?

It is just because women are still not coming out and openly talking about their sexuality. And since history was written by men, for men, we see and read about so many gay couples around.

As time goes by, the negative stigma of being a gay celebrity seems to fade. I don't know if we can quantify it, but I think there are quite a few Lesbian celebrities. Maybe less than there are gay males, but not by that much.

You, of course, have Ellen.

You have Wanda Sykes, who was known to be gay but came out to the public only recently.

Tila "Tequila" Nguyen is openly bisexual.

Meredith Baxter came out recently.

Rosie O'Donnell is gay.

These are off the top of my head, and there are more. To me, I think that men hide it more, like Ricky Martin, who was all but caught with another man.

Do you also count bisexual, because there are a few female celebs who consider themselves bisexual.

Perhaps it is more due to women having less to prove regarding their sexuality than men.

Too many men identify or are identified by their sexual activities and prowess.

It has always been more acceptable for women to display affection to each other in public. Women have been more active in public than men due to societies acceptance of female displays of affection as well as many men fantasizing about women in that way.

Can't say as I know many women who fantasize about men being affectionate with each other. Women appear to be better at not making such a big deal about it and the general public is only "fascinated/offended" by what doesn't fit in their minds (specifically men liking other men, even if they aren't poking each other).
