Can you tell me what gay, lesbian, bisexuals, and transgendered people are?

Question

Like, explain what each one is. Thanx.
(example; a gay is a man who is attracted to another man)

Answer 1

lesbian: woman who is attracted romantically to women
bisexual: person with the capability to be attracted to a person of either gender
transgendered: a person who lives a substantial portion of their lives in a gender different from that assigned at birth. usually refers to a person who wishes to or has changed their socially identifyable gender. Usually the person changes their gender expression (how they dress etc.) to be different from what their birth certificate says.
can also apply to people who have chromosomal anomalies.

Answer 2

renegade6... pretty much nailed the Transgender description whereas a lot of others didn't.

Gay can mean men attracted to men or it can refer to homosexuals in general (i.e. include lesbians).

The most important thing that I'd add to the gay, bi, and lesbian answers is that same sex attraction includes more than just sexual attraction - it is about deep and abiding love as well. That's the part most straights don't get; they tend to simply focus on the act of sex. As anyone in a healthy and positive long-term committed relationship can tell you, the attraction and love goes way beyond sex. Oh, and, the physical attraction goes beyond genitalia.

Some other info is that lesbians don't won't to be men and gays do not want to be women. Ppl who feel that way are transgender. Most gays are not effeminate and most lesbians are not masculine. Although some same sex relationships have a form of role play, quite often there is none (i.e. one does not play female to the other's male role).

Bi-sexuality is not synonymous with promiscuous. It means they are attracted to a person regardless of gender. Bi ppl are just as capable, and typically desire, a long-term relationship with a single partner.

Cross-dressers, by the way, are people who like to dress up in the opposite sexes' clothes. Quite often they are heterosexual.

Gender identity and sexual orientation are two different things.

Ask more questions if you want to know more.

Answer 3

A gay person is someone that is only sexually attracted to people that are the same sex.
A lesbian is a female that is only sexually attracted to other females.
A bisexual is either a male or female that is sexually attracted to both males and females.
A transgendered person is someone who identifies with the opposite sex rather than the sex of their body and feels as if they were born in the wrong body.

Answer 4

Gay is a man who is attracted to other men.

Lesbian is a woman who is attracted to other women.

Bisexuals are attracted to both genders.

Transgendered is people who were assigned a gender, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves.

Answer 5

Well, I'll try...

Gay: Generically referse to " same sex relationships" most used in terms of Male to Male

Lesbian: A female specific form of " Gay ". Female to Female relationships.

Bisexual: Well, you don't have any sexual preference. Male, Female, doesn't matter.

Transgendered: Sex change operation has been performed. Man turned into a woman or a woman turned into a man. That's a medical procedure, as oposed to a sexual preference.

Answer 6

A gay man is one who attracted to other men.
A lesbian is a woman attracted to other women
A bisexual is attracted to both sexes.
A transgender is a person of one gender who identifies as the other. (I may be a little iffy on my explanation of this one. Still learning.)

Answer 7

A gay man is a man who is sexually, romantically, erotically and emotionally inclined to seduce, sleep with, and sometimes fall in love with, other gay men. Ditto for a lesbian.

Bisexuals are attracted sexually to both men and women, with varying degrees of being emotionally involved with the people they sleep with.

Transgendered people have operations to change their genitalia so their physical body matches their gender identity.

Answer 8

Are you serious? Have you been living under a rock?

Gay: A man who is attracted exclusively to other men.
Lesbian: A woman who is attracted exclusively to other women.
Bisexual: A man or woman attracted to both men and women.
Transgendered: A man or woman who feels that he/she is in fact of the opposite sex and believes that they were born in the wrong body.

Answer 9

yay i get to espress my knowlege on this subject!

Gay (homosexual) people are people that are highly attracted to same sex people... for example Gay men are attracted to other men. Gay women are attracted to other women.

Lesbian is another word for a gay woman. Like i expalined above gay women (lesbians) are attracted to other women.

Bisexuals are people who are attracted to both men and women. There can be bisexual men and there are also bisexual women.

Trangender people are still in the same page as homosexuals just that they belive that they are a man/ woman in a man/ woman's body. For example a trangender man belives that he is a woman inside a man's body causing him to be attracted to men but feel like a woman. Transgenders usually tend to get sex changes to lead a happier life.

hope this helped and on behalf of myself and the gay community i would like to thank you for actually asking than just assuming which would lead you to misunderstanding which would lead you to hate. laters
