Certainly on the surface girl on girl is more acceptable, but however you look at it, guy on guy gets way more attention, even if we look at subtext. This could also be a knock on effect of guys always being the main character, maybe some girls find it easier to empathise with a male lead. It's real weird.

Is there some psychological or sociological reason why that's the case?
