It's not just about non acceptance of gays. Although that is a part of it. It's more to do with the overt macho culture putting far to much pressure on young men to be something they're simply not. A culture which more or less teaches young men to hide their feelings and problems instead of expressing them.

I know it was a long post, but I was trying to give an insight and a perspective.
