Does liking shemales make you gay?

[E24th]

Ahhhh. I understand, I totally see how shemales would be attractive towards heterosexuals more than homosexuals. I understand, too, that the femininity I love in shemales and crossdressers would, to some people, qualify me as bisexual. I simply know that I am not.

Really, I just wish I knew other guys with the same desires who self-identified the same way, if only because that part of my identity is so strong. I've been told that I "act straight," which, though it is a despicable term, basically tends to mean that I don't have the stereotypical features of a homosexual. I'm not "limp-wristed," I'm not "prancing," I'm not a drama queen, none of that (I have yet to see more than maybe three people in my entire life who fit that gay stereotype). But I am gay. I just... love really girly guys. I mean guys in general, but softer guys especially, they're all I think about sometimes...
