I won't speak for women of cultures other than mine so this is in regard to Western women. It's possible this is applicable throughout the world but:
Women tend to dislike other women when they first meet. They have to get to know one another before they can open up and become close. This does exclude the introduction of alcohol to the situation. Men, however, tend to be the exact opposite.
When it comes to queer men, women get the best of both sexes, at least in their eyes. They get the comradery of someone that embraces femininity, immediately, without all the hoops and bullshit that women usually exhibit when being around other women. They also are not in competition for the same pool of men as when they are with other women.
