wow ive got to see this one, thats a tidbit of history i missed reading about the Lavendar scare and the gay rights movement over the years

At the turn of the century in the US it was illegal for men to wear women's clothing in public and was punishable by jail time.

Oops, I'm talking turn of the 20th century lil.

I mean, that's the irony, depending. Your gender is separate from sex, so even if someone identifies as the opposite gender, if their sex life is still penis/vagina, they're still heterosexual. So they can be trans and not gay, although still queer.
