<p style="font-size:xx-small;">nce for lesbians than
gay men, and that gay men are significantly more likely to be
targets of violence.That research also has found that it's often straight
men who have the most difficult time with homosexuality and
particularly gay men says researcher Gregory Herek."Men are raised
to think they have to prove their masculinity, and one big part
about being masculine is being heterosexual. So we see that harassment,
jokes, negative statements and violence are often ways that even younger
men try to prove their heterosexuality," says Herek, a psychologist at the
University of California, Davis, who has, for years, studied this phenomenon
and how it plays out in the gay community.That is not, of
course, to downplay the harassment lesbians face. It can be just as
ugly.But it's not as frequent, Herek and others have found, especially in
adulthood. It's also not uncommon for lesbians to encounter straight men
who have a fascination with them."The men hit on me. The women
hit on me. But I never feel like I'm in any immediate
danger," says Sarah Toce, the 29-year-old editor of The Seattle Lesbian,
a daily online news magazine. "If I were a gay man, I
might and if it's like this in Seattle, can
you imagine what it is like in less-accepting parts of middle America?"One
of Herek's studies found that, overall, 38 percent of gay men said
that, in adulthood, they'd been victims of vandalism, theft or violence

All five living past and present U.S. presidents gathered in Dallas for
the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum Thursday,
an event that saw the men share a rare bond that transcends
partisan differences."There was a time in my life when I wasn't likely
to be found at a library, much less found one," Bush quipped,
before thanking his predecessors and successor for the "kind words" and
the "examples you set."Bush thanked his mother Barbara Bush for teaching
him to live life to the fullest, and his father, the 41st
president, for "teaching me how to be a president ... and how
to be a man."- President Obama on President Bush"Forty-one, it is awesome
that you are here today," he said, drawing a smile from his
88-year-old father, who has battled health problems in recent months.Earlier,
President Obama noted that the exclusive group of current and former presidents
is often viewed as a club, but he said it is "more
of a support group.""No matter how much you think you're ready to
assume the office of the president, its impossible to understand the nature
of the job until its yours," Obama said. "The first thing I
found in that desk was a letter from George. He knew that
I would come to learn what he had learned. That being president
is a humbling job."We know President Bush the man," Obama said. "To
know the man is to like the man. Because hes comfortable in
his own skin. He knows who he is. He doesnt put on
