At present we do not have another umbrella term so why not queer as many other countries have been using for years now.
As I feel the article infers provided we are afforded equality why should anyone care ? Berny might tho…… he is a real gay man afterall !

Thank you to the star for running this article. As a 24yo TS female I live my life as a lesbian woman which is what I have always known to be me. I have been with my girlfriend for 3 years now.

I defy numerous gender norms and stereotypes and daily life can be a struggle. I feel education to be paramount for the wider and LBGTIQ communites and articles like this are refreshing and timely reminders to celebrate the diversity of our queer family.

Berny you are an ignorant twat. I am not even going to dignify your remarks let alone try and correct your misinformation.

Happy mardi gras!!

I AM A GAY MAN. If it is not sexual orientation that makes transexuals that way then what is it???
