Best Answer

Some are, but some are heterosexual men who simply like to dress in womens clothes.

Answer

Not necessarily. A gay person is a someone who is sexually attracted to members of his or her own sex. A transvestite is someone who wears clothing which was designed for the opposite sex. Two entirely different concepts. Some gay men may like to wear women's clothing, but in general most male transvestites are straight.

Answer

No. They are people who prefer to wear clothing of the opposite gender. Mainly from male to female. In respect of sexuality approximately 80% of men that like to dress as women are full blooded heterosexual males. Being someone who cross-dresses is no indicator of homosexuality although a percentage will be and or Bisexual just the same as the population of men that don't choose to swap their trousers for a frock.

Not necessarily. Transvestites are individuals who dress in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender, but their sexual orientation can vary. Some transvestites may identify as gay, while others may identify as heterosexual or have other sexual orientations. It is important to remember that gender identity and sexual orientation are separate aspects of a person's identity.

Since gay people are attracted to people of the same gender why are they attracted to transvestites?

First, many gay males find transvestite males unattractive because they are sexually attracted to men and want their partner to look and behave like a man. These same gay males who do not find transvestites attractive would also not find a gay male who behaved effeminately attractive. However, some gay males find transvestites attractive simply because clothes come off during sex and they are attracted to the transvestite's body or personality. They are not turned on by the fact that the guy is a transvestite, but it is not an obstacle to them either. Finally, to a minority of gay males it is a turn-on rather than a turn-off or something neutral. There are fetishes for almost everything, and the reason for this is the same reason that someone might have a fetish for feet or butts: an experience during childhood development.

If you get really turned on by girls but dont dress like a boy is there still a possibility im gay?

If you are a young man or boy, it is not likely that you are gay if you still find girls attractive. I am assuming you like to dress like a girl. You are a transvestite. I think you know this word. So in short, no. Transvestites are not gay because they like to dress up. Only having and liking sex with a man is a gay indicator.

Was j Edgar a transvestite or gay?

According to a single witness, Susan Rosenstiel, interviewed by one of his major biographers, yes. Much more widely accepted and supported is that Hoover was a closeted homosexual. However, not all gay men are transvestites, and not all transvestites are gay men, so his gayness does not prove anything about his possible transvestite activities. "In his 1993 biography Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover, Anthony Summers quoted a witness who claimed to have seen Hoover engaging in cross-dressing and homosexual acts on two occasions in the 1950s."

What is the difference between miss gay America miss gay usofa and miss continental pageants and what are the requirements for each?

Their all different pageants, One is referring too men dressed as women in the sense that they are gay transsexuals or transvestites. the other is an international pageant in which is a pageant for international contestants. The requirements for the GAY pageants are usually the same as any other: 18 or 21+ and that the person be gay, which would be unethical as a requirement since we cant tell who is gay and who isn't by looks, There also might be an admittance fee also, those 2 are just simple rules that many adult pageants follow.
