Even my many gay/lesbian friends have a hard time answering this question: Why do gay men find drag queens and/or transsexuals attractive? If they are gay, doesn’t that mean they prefer a person of the same sex? So why would they be attracted to men who look like women?

I must say I do not fancy transsexuals; I do think this is an urban myth you have heard, and it certainly is not one of the qualities of a partner on which I would base a relationship.

Being a drag performer myself I can tell you that very few gay men sexualize drag. They enjoy it for it’s entertainment value. On the other hand, an incredibly large number of men who generally identify as straight are attracted to drag queens. Now you might think this means that they are really gay, but it really is just an example of how people don’t fit definitions. Most of these men really are into women. In our gender role obsessed society, what do straight men find sexy? Long hair, lipstick, high heels, long nails. None of this is geneticly associated with women. I guess these guys are somewhat bisexual, but many of them are only attracted to men they consider ‘womanlike’. Beleive me, I see it every day! How many of you straight guys reading this have had secret fantasies about being with a ‘chick with a dick?’
