Well, I think part of it comes from the fact that many people don't see (straight) men and women as being able to have completely platonic relationships. If they don't think straight people can do it, why would they think gay people would be any different? It's just that they're more willing to risk a non-platonic friendship with a member of the opposite sex than they are with the same sex.

This doesn't make sense to me. I have many male friends that have never hit on me, never made a move, etc. I've never done that, either.
Not to mention, that's no reason to be scared of gays and lesbians. If one friend becomes attracted to the other and it isn't reciprocated, you do what you do if the friends are male/female.

There are lots of instances of cultures/religions/groups who did or still do believe that men and women are to be separate because they are incapable of forming relationships that are not sexual.

However for the purposes of this thread, that is not the norm. The norm for most of us here is to have interactions with people of both sexes.
