The acceptability in society of Gay males VS Gay Females.

Can anyone tell me why male on male relationships are not accepted by society and female on female sex is tolerated?
I am a gay male who has been in a relationship for the last 7 years with the same person. We are currently paying off a mortgage together and live like a "normal" defacto couple. So why the stigmata ?
Also why can we not get married and afforded the same reasonable rights as a heterosexual couple?
I understand the religious point of view, however I believe that if religion wants to outlaw gay marriage it should be made responsible for all records relating to marriage if the individual couple so wishes. It should be a matter of keeping state and religion free and separate of each other.
What are everyone else s thoughts?.

As a hetro female I lasted 7 years with my husband and now I'm coming up for 7 years with my current partner so I think you're doing really well.
My partner is a bit funny about gay guys but not gay women. No, I don't understand it!
As for gay marriages, hetro couples can have non-religious weddings that are still legal. Why not gays? I believe you are entitled to the same rights as hetro couples.
PS: when I was a lot younger and living in Perth all my best friends were gay (both men and women) and they were the nicest most caring people I have ever know.
Good luck to you and your partner. Eventually they will legalise marriage.
