I'm not gay but my boyfriend is. (now there will be 50 people who assume I am gay but who cares I quit worrying about that years ago)

I went to the ICRME Coronation here last night. 200 drag queens. All willing to be out in the open. Most were gay and made no bones about it. How many CDs have you seen recently? Did a group of TG's get press like on a television show? How many shows where crossdressers are the center of the show have you seen?

It is all perspective. You can thank the media. Name the last movie you saw with men in women's clothing. Tootsie? ha hah hah funny. Guy who pretends to be a woman but doesn't really want to dress but gets "forced" into it. Clown, comedy. Too Wong Foo? 3 "GAY" DQ's, Priscilla? Ditto. Some like it hot? Underlying gay theme with Jack Lemon's character. Angry Inch? Gay.

You ask why we are all considered gay? Look at who represents YOU in the real world? They are Drag Queens who usually are GAY. Congratulations you are lumped with them. Just like every other minority, the squeaky wheel gets the press.

So now a question? How may straight crossdressers are hiding in the closet? If 10% of them went out once in a while in public, maybe even at an event where they raised money for a cause (like most DQ's do with their shows). AND if we did that maybe even the extra perk of spouses accepting men in women's clothes would occur. Another question. How many have been hit on by a gay guy? Usually we are hit on by so called straights...why don't we ask them if THEY are gay?
