I jt n’t get past the fact that I did the gayt thg a guy n do. Can a sgle act like this make me gay?

IS GAY TO DATE A TRANS WOMAN?

> Wrong Si Of Wild SiGive yourself a break,, y: you did the gayt thg a guy n do—you allowed someone to put a dick your man butt—but now you’re dog the send-gayt thg a guy n do. Stop actg so cray, as the kids say, and repeat after me: one dick the ass do not a gay man make. So you didn’t emerge om this enunter wh anythg more vastatg than a touch of gay panic.

MY BOYIEND LIK SHEMAL DO THAT MAKE HIM GAY?

Be a man about this—be a straight man about this—and walk off, as the football ach this will help: like a lot of gay men, I had sex wh a woman before I me out.

You did the gayt thg a guy n do—you let someone put a dick your ass—but that didn’t make you gay. Bee you’re not gay, WSOWS, and one ri on a trans rt’s dick n’t change nothg I’ve said has ma you feel better, WSOWS, maybe this will: gay men don’t hire trans women sex workers.

Gay men are to dick, of urse, but what we’re really to is dus. There are gay men out there who date and fuck and shack up wh trans men—men wh psi—so not all gay men are after dick. What we’re all after is our gayns n’t be fed solely by dick, WSOWS, then surely your straightns n’t be undone entirely by dick.

TENSNS BETWEEN TRANS WOMEN AND GAY MEN BOIL OVER AT STONEWALL ANNIVERSARY

Several qutns: 1) What do gay people ll such a unn? 2) Do the gay muny thk ’s odd? Such unns are referred to as “throupl” by gays and straights.

For a picture of the ner workgs of a gay throuple, TRIOS, check out Molly Young’s profile of one New York magaze’s most recent “Sex Issue”.

WHAT'S A GAY TRANSSEXUAL WOMAN?

Some gay people thk throupl are odd, some thk they’re unremarkable, and some thk they’re sensible. And some gay people—some dumb on—thk gay throupl are bad PR at a time when gay upl are fightg for the right to marry. Is wrong to say trans women are gay if they date men (or women)?

I'm not gay, bi, or pansexual.

ARE YOU GAY IF YOU LOVE A TRANSGENR PERSON?

In some ways I thk would be easier to tell them that I'm gay or bi, bee that's more socially acceptable.

THERE ARE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENC BETWEEN GAY AND TRANS INTI

Transgenr people may be straight, lbian, gay, bisexual, or asexual, jt as nontransgenr people n be. For example, a transgenr woman, or a person who is assigned male at birth and transns to female, who is attracted to other women would be intified as a lbian or gay woman.

Likewise, a transgenr man, or a person who is assigned female at birth and transns to male, who is attracted to other men would be intified as a gay man.

The Natnal Center for Transgenr Equaly and the Natnal Gay and Lbian Task Force released a report 2011 entled Injtice at Every Turn, which nfirmed the pervasive and severe discrimatn faced by transgenr people. Parents, Fai, and Friends of Lbians and Gays (PFLAG) Transgenr Network (TNET).
