would be better parents than gay men.Nancy
Dreyer, a mother in a two-mom family, has noticed this in her
own life."With gay male friends of ours who have kids, people will
say, 'My gosh, who takes care of this baby?'
as if they're not capable," says Dreyer, whose 57 and lives in
suburban Boston.The assumption, she says, is that men aren't nurturing.
And if they're too nurturing, she says, people get suspicious, noting that
no one has ever questioned her and her partner about their ability
to raise their son, who's now in college.She's noticed the different ways
society treats gay men and lesbians, partly because she has a brother,
Benjamin Dreyer, who's gay. The Dreyer siblings say it's difficult to compare
their experiences because Benjamin came out in college, and Nancy in her
early 30s.So he was the first to tell their parents. "They yelled
at me. They took you to dinner," Benjamin Dreyer, who's 54 and
works in publishing in New York City, now jokes with his sister.Truth
was, as a young gay man coming of age as the AIDS
epidemic took hold, his parents simply worried, and with good reason, his
sister says.There's little doubt, they both say, that AIDS influenced the
perception of gay men.Benjamin Dreyer says he dealt with societal bias by
avoiding it, and surrounding himself with people he knew would be supportive,
including his parents, eventually.But he's also realizing how quickly the
need to do that is disappearing. He was s
fired for mistreating his players and mocking them with gay slurs.If two
women dance together at a club or walk arm-in-arm down the street,
people are usually less likely to question it though
some wonder if that has more to do with a lack of
awareness than acceptance."Lesbians are so invisible in our society. And
so I think the hatred is more invisible," says Laura Grimes, a
licensed clinical social worker in Chicago whose counseling practice caters
to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients.Grimes says she also frequently
hears from lesbians who are harassed for "looking like dykes," meaning that
people are less accepting if they look more masculine.Still, Ian O'Brien,
a gay man in Washington, D.C., sees more room for women "to
transcend what femininity looks like, or at least negotiate that space a
little bit more."O'Brien, who's 23, recently wrote an opinion piece tied
to the Boy Scout debate and his own experience in the Scouts
when he was growing up in the San Diego area."To put it
simply: Being a boy is supposed to look one way, and you
get punished when it doesn't," O'Brien wrote in the piece, which appeared
in The Advocate, a national magazine for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender communities.Joey Carrillo, a gay student at Elmhurst College
in suburban Chicago, remembers trying to be as masculine as possible in
high school. He hid the fact that he was gay, particularly around
other athletes. As a wrestler,

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">U.S. President Barack Obama (L) poses alongside former U.S. President George
W. Bush, former first lady Laura Bush and first lady Michelle Obama
(R) after the Bush's official White House portraits were unveiled during
a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington
May 31, 2012.ReutersAbout half of American voters have a positive opinion
of President Barack Obama -- and about the same number think positively
about his predecessor, George W. Bush. Fifty-two percent have a favorable
opinion of Obama according to the latest Fox News poll, while 49
percent of voters have a favorable view of Bush.There is a wide
partisan gap: Republicans (79 percent) are three times as likely as Democrats
(24 percent) to have a positive opinion of Bush. The gap is
even wider on Obamas favorable rating: Five times as many Democrats (86
percent) as Republicans (17 percent) like the current occupant of the White
House.CLICK TO VIEW THE FOX NEWS POLLThe poll was taken in advance
of dedication ceremonies for the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which
will be held this Thursday in Dallas. In addition to Presidents Obama
and Bush, former presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush (the father of
George W. Bush) and Bill Clinton are expected to attend.Despite a slight
increase in his favorable ratings, the new Fox poll nonetheless finds that
George W. Bush fares least well among the former presidents in terms
of current popularity. Clinton tops the lis
ns to sponsor
their partners, said Ty Cobb, an attorney and lobbyist with the Human
Rights Campaign, a gay rights group. Another Democratic senator, Al Franken
of Minnesota, pledged in a Judiciary hearing on the bill Monday to
do "everything we can" to adjust the bill.But even if the amendment
makes it through the Senate, it faces a tougher path if and
when the bill moves to the Republican-controlled House. GOP leaders there
have been defending the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage
as between a man and a woman, though Obama has said it
is unconstitutional. And while Obama supports same-sex marriage, his administration
has shown little appetite for forcing the issue while the immigration overhaul's
prospects are still shaky."No one will get everything they want from it,
including the president. That's the nature of compromise. But the bill is
largely consistent with the principles he has laid out repeatedly," Obama
spokesman Jay Carney said last week. A White House spokesman declined to
answer further questions about the issue.Some Democrats argue privately
that with the Supreme Court poised to rule on the constitutionality of
the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits the government from giving
federal marriage benefits to gay couples, the issue could soon be moot.
Still, even if the high court strikes the law down, it would
only bring partial relief; only couples married in the nine states that
recognize gay marriages
