Conclusion

So, have we entered an era of no sexual politics? Why are the majority of feminists today heterosexual and seemingly keen to get men directly involved in a movement that derives its strength from autonomy? In the lesbian and gay liberation movement, such as it remains today, is it possible for both camps to work together despite the decades of acrimony, suspicion, betrayal and, crucially, the apparent lack of concern on the part of gay men about the misogyny that hinders the lives of every single lesbian, despite the victories of late? As feminism filters through all strands of society, it is obvious that gay men are influenced by it as much and as little as other men. But gay culture remains, essentially, hostile to women.

A number of survey respondents believe that lesbians and gay men experience prejudice differently, with many explaining the reason why as inequality between men and women and the therefore institutionalised power that gay men have in relation to lesbians.
