Yep. Each of the groups of the acronym has their own unique challenges, and I think one of the ones for gay men is that straight men tend to be less accepting of homosexual men than straight women are of homosexual women.

It's not an "acceptance" thing, it's just that women don't tend to behave violently. Even if straight women don't "accept" lesbians, it rarely results in physical violence. Homophobic women stick to avoiding lesbians or social manipulation/shaming (see: none of the complaints about "Karens" involve physical violence). Most of the pressing problems lesbians face comes from straight men too, but usually that shows up as sexual harassment or rape.
