I personally have experienced an encounter with homophobes who claim that they have no problems with lesbians but that if their son came out they would shoot them 
Btw what do you mean by double discrimination?

Lesbians face discrimination for being female and gay. I do not agree lesbians are more sexualized not more accepted, butch lesbians face one of the worst discrimination ( trans have it the worse), but you claim about stats I will like to read it maybe you are wright. Funny you say the society is patriarchal and male get more discrimination it dosent make sense, if a society is patriarcal the male get better treatment and you can always hide your sexual preference not your sex.
