The Celluloid Closet Questions

1.In my opinion,if someone believe that gay men and lesbians are all crazy people,then he/she is absolutely wrong,I think gay men and lesbians are formal person,and they have no different to other formal people.People always have stereotype to gay men and lesbians,and also have many wrong thinking to them,for example,some people think gay men and lesbians are all crazy persons.However,the only different place between gay men and lesbians to people is the sex which people like,most people like opposite sex but gay men and lesbians is opposite.People still have more wrong thinning to them,for instance,people may think gay men and lesbians are all have AIDS,it is wrong and why they have high percentage to get AIDS because they don't protect themselves well,not because they are gay.Therefore,government should improve our education that teach us the right knowledge to gay men and lesbians,and don't let people misunderstand gay men and lesbians any more.
3.In my opinion,it is true that public people can acceptable lesbians showing physical affection,but they can't acceptable gay men to do this,it may be unfair to gay men,however,this situation is really exist and I think it is the same in Taiwan. According to Taiwan's custom,we used to think men is independent and courage,and women is moderate and virtuous,so it is our stereotype to men and women,our eduction also teach us this is true for men and women's characteristics.However,due to this stereotype,when we see two girls holding hands in the street,we think it is a regular situation and it is normal that girls like to anywhere with at least one girl.In Taiwan,it is regular situation that two good friends will holding their hands when they go to anywhere for female,but it is strange for male,and male who do this people will to make fun of them.Therefore,we used to think men is brave and independent,hence if we see two men holding hands on the street,we can't acceptable immediately because those two men is broken our thinking in the past and what education teach us.
