Gays being portrayed as evil in movies


Is it just me or are lesbians made evil in Hollywood much more often than gay men? I've seen plenty of movies with evil lesbians, but apart from Rope way back in 1948 and Dog Day Afternoon which was based on a true story, I can't remember almost any movies with evil gay men.

Gays are humans. Just because they're gay doesn't mean they're goody two shoes that don't commit crimes. I bet you don't have a problem with the thousands of movies that feature HETEROSEXUAL villians, do ya?

Aare you blind? I was complaining about the lack of homosexual villains, not presence.

I Love You, Philip Morris has an arguably evil gay man played by Jim Carrey

The Mist (Series circa 2017) has an evil gay character who hurts many people under the guise of being nice and misunderstood.

Also would you count Deliverance? Thats got some wicked gay men in it.

The only evil lesbians I can think of were in the movie Girl, Interrupted (was angelina jolies character gay?)
and
The Lawyer lady in Jessica Jones was downright evil.
