These guys are a little slighter than I typically look for in representative art for Lashunta males, but I couldn't resist the costuming!
Although #Lashunta society doesn't discriminate on romantic preference, it is required to happen under the Damaya Matriarchy. Thus men focusing on this kind of relationship risk losing a social-support vector. Such couples typically dwell within the household of a mother or sister, according them a place in society and advocating for them.
If a couple of men can't find that kind of matronage, they risk being even further marginalized. There is, however, another option.
Hunters and explorers bring back tales of ~Disadama~ - Men's Hunting Camps - hiding out in the wilderness. Since the ratio of outlaws in Lashunta Society are disproportionately male (due to the female right to banish for any offense), some men have built their own settlements deep within the rainforest. There they have developed their own communities, enacted their own laws, and live as they see fit.
Many outlaws drift through these hunting camps after their banishment, although the hetero-inclined often leave for relationships fitting their preferences (possibly seeking a pardon or matronage that will disregard their offense). Yet for Lashunta males seeking to love and live as they see fit, the men-only places become a dream come true.
There is, however, a risk. The cities' matriarchies may likely be aware of established hunting camps but prefer to ignore them. If, however, a city perceives such an outlaw settlement as a threat - for any reason, whether economic, legal, or even an offense to pride - they may take action. A company of Shotalashu cavalry with Korasha auxiliaries will soon come invading along the treepaths, at which point tragedy may ensue.
