Transgendered people are attracted to the same gender they were attracted to before the surgery. Not all transgendered people are gay or lesbian. In fact, the majority of men transgendered female are heterosexual.

I think gay people of both genders and of all religions get married to a person of the opposite-sex as a way to hide their sexuality. My neighbor is a Catholic, closeted gay man who is getting married to a straight woman. He thinks his urges will go away if he has a piece of paper saying he's married to a woman. I've heard from Catholic gay men that when they tell a priest they are gay, the priest then tells them to either get married as soon as possible or become a monk or a priest.

Regardless of gender or sexual orientation, people dress in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Many lesbians wear men's clothing, but it is what makes them feel comfortable. I'd feel bad for someone who dressed a particular way just because it was how they were 'supposed' to dress based upon gender, race, or sexuality.

I haven't known one lesbian who has used protection during sex, nor do I know a lesbian who has (knowingly) contracted any sexually transmitted diseases. First, it is rather hard for a woman to transmit a disease to another woman, sexually. Second, herpes and HIV are the only two STDs that women can transmit to each other, because the majority of STDs affect the inside of a woman's body rather than the outside. This means the infection or disease would have had to be internally inserted. Protection for lesbians isn't sold in regular pharmacies; you have to go to a sex shop or order them online. However, plastic shrink wrap is commonly used. I don't know every lesbian in the world, so I can't say that none or all of them use protection. I do know that lesbians have the lowest risk factors, before factoring in how promiscuous any individual woman is.

I don't hate 'fag hags'. I do, however, dislike some of the ideas about gay men that they have. To me at least, it seems as though straight women who identify themselves as 'fag hags' are secretly in love with their gay male friend. Although it doesn't really seem like a secret. They expect to somehow change their friend's sexual orientation, which in essence shows that they can't accept the fact that their friend is gay. On the other hand, other 'fag hags' seek gay men to engage in a very close friendship much like a relationship, minus sex. I have heard them firsthand say things like 'He's like a boyfriend that has the same interests as me, except I don't have to have sex with him.' Or, 'They say diamonds are a girl's best friend...I say a gay man is a girl's best friend.' To 'fag hags,' gay men are a novelty. I've also noticed that many 'fag hags' have a prejudice against lesbians, which reinforces the idea that they're not totally accepting of all gays.

A friend of a friend is a 'fag hag' who is getting married to a closeted gay man. The guy says he thinks his sexual urges toward men will vanish if he is married to a woman. I also need to mention that the 'fag hag' I'm talking about has a circle of friends entirely made up of gay men, and has actually asked one of them to 'turn straight' for her, and if he does then she will call off the wedding. I have another gay male friend who isn't allowed to go out with his boyfriend without getting the third degree from his 'fag hag'. She has said things to her gay friend such as 'Why would you rather go out with him than me?' I don't like how these women try to control gay men.

I can, however, in another sense, appreciate straight women befriending gay men. Never in history has a minority gained acceptance without help from members of the majority. I think that's as much credit I can give them, though.
