I've never understood the association of gay with crossdressing but it is a difficult think to wrap your head around. A gay person is homosexual (according to the dictionary) and a homosexual is (of a person) sexually attracted to people of one's own sex. I would guess that most gay men would not be attracted to a crossdresser especially a very pretty girl. I guess on the other side of that, the crossdresser could be considered gay, if their purpose in getting all dolled up is to attract men. I could see that argument unless of course the crossdresser is transgendered and does not see themselves as male. I can understand how most can be confused... I know I am!
