In a semi-heterosexual society --- which is a cross between a traditional society and a heterosexual society (like modern India) ----- if a masculine gendered attractive male is thought of being open about same-sex needs, his value amongst his peers and men's space in general shoots considerably up. However, since there is hostility in the formal social sphere, the man must not be open about his same-sex needs........ this value goes down if things come out in the open.

The heterosexual society, on the other hand artificially creates such intense hostility in the men's space itself (and not only in the formal social space) around same-sex needs that the value of any man who shows even the remotest possibility of same-sex attraction goes steepely down. Actually, there are no men's space really to talk of in a heterosexual society. And the heterosexual space is dominated by sexually dominant women, and heterosexualised men who make sure that continuous hostility is maintained against same-sex needs in these spaces.
