Does liking shemales make you gay?

[british_boy]

I have an Asian TS girlfriend and we adore each other - she's the best girlfriend and lover I've ever had.

I don't feel guilty or ashamed in the slightest, and since I don't want kids, there's no barrier to us being together for the long term. However, I do worry about other people's reactions if, as planned, we get "married" (civil partnership in the UK) and she comes here to live. I haven't got much family to speak of, but I'm pretty sure some friends will be weird about it.

In fact, does anyone have any advice in this area?
