petar d-mortifer: I have never heard the word gay to describe having a transgender identity. I have only heard it to describe gay and lesbian identified people. For myself I identify as queer, and straight. I don't think I could say I'm straight and gay since that is two opposites. Although queer may offend some, to others it's a personal identity just in the same way that identifying as gay offends some people. I think that there seems to be a bit of a victim card being played in all of these scenarios which isn't true to reality.
The problem with gender and sex is that I would hope that in an LGBT setting most people should understand the difference. Then again I've known quite a few transphobic gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.

My two best friends are straight, and they're wonderful (^^)
My other "friends" are mostly just acquaintences, and they're all straight. But they've all been perfectly okay with me being gay. I haven't met too many people who are mean about it. And the ones who would be, I just stay away from.
I know a lot of bisexuals, but I'm not really friends with any of them. I have one other gay friend the same gender as me, but we don't get to hang out much.

As far as I know, all my friends are straight.
It's possible that I have one friend who may be bisexual, but I'm not sure. She came out 2 or 3 years ago, and hasn't mentioned it since. After I came out and casually asked, she denied it, and now claims to be straight. A phase, or back in the closet? As she can be the type to pick up weird habits or take on personality traits to get attention or create an identity for herself, I imagine it may had been a passing thing.
Anyway, i don't know any gay people, or any other bisexuals. All the people who know about my sexuality are cool with it.
For example, the other day when we were discussing what we would do if our (hypothetical) boyfriends dumped us. I said "if it was he, i'd kick him in the balls. She? A punch in the ovaries!"
I got a laugh, and no one seemed to care. My friends are great like that.

It helped me a lot to know i was not the only gay in earth.

I've only had a few Gay friends in my life, as well as a few Bisexual ones. A lot of the 'Bisexual' girls that I knew in high school but were not friends with, were faux. They, of course, had histrionic personalities & needed to feed them by claiming to be Bisexual when they really were not.
Basically, the majority of my friends are Straight/Heterosexual or however you wish to refer to it.

I don't have any non-straight friends sad They are only "acquaintances", but I'm planning on fixing that cause it sucks to be the only bi one out of all my friends.

Wow, here where I live, most people from the LBGT community only share with people from equal community. Here, I am weird for having too many straight friends...but as I read your posts, I realize that in the US, its very different.

Everyone in my immediate family is straight. One I consider to be my sister is straight. ...my four best friends are bi. One of my other best friends.. well, it's complicated, but she's not straight. I have two gay guys that I am close to. Another friend that doesn't know if she is straight or not. One that is definitely straight as a rod. My roommate is gay. Her girlfried and I are friends and she's gay. There are alot of curious people I know. And there are plenty a ton of straight people that I'm not close-close with but I consider to be friends that are straight with no turning.
So... yeah. Balanced and fair enough. Even though it makes the dating pool small being from a tiny town.

lemme think...
most of my friends are straight. they all know that i'm gay (it's hard for me not to laugh when people exclaim "you're gay?!" these days) and i have a few gay and pans friends. as far as trans or bi go, i have a couple bi, but no trans. i'm the only one who ever really feels transgendered, but i don't consider myself to be.
anyways, i'd say it's a lil less than balanced, but that's just cuz the straights outnumber the lgbt here.

Actually, the majority of my friends are straight. Unfortunately. I would love to have more LGBTQ friends, but it sucks to be the only girl in a group of however many while all of them are staring at guys =P Haha. I probably sound like an idiot, but I know what I mean.
Actually, I'm currently dating a boy. But... I'm extremely uncomfortable and am not attracted to him at all. I thought I was bi, and dating a boy is a new thing for me (it's only been a week) and I'm quite sure it's not going to last.
Oh well, at least I experimented a little bit... xD
But yeah, most of my friends are straight, and although I would love to have more non-straight friends, it doesn't really bother me as much as I let on in this post. lol.

Like everyone knows I'm gay.
All of my friends are straight.
I tend not to get along with gays unless I'm dating one.
