Are transvestites gay

Some are, but some are heterosexual men who simply like to dress in womens clothes.

Answer

Not necessarily. A gay person is a someone who is sexually attracted to members of his or her own sex. A transvestite is someone who wears clothing which was designed for the opposite sex. Two entirely different concepts. Some gay men may like to wear women's clothing, but in general most male transvestites are straight.

Answer

No. They are people who prefer to wear clothing of the opposite gender. Mainly from male to female. In respect of sexuality approximately 80% of men that like to dress as women are full blooded heterosexual males. Being someone who cross-dresses is no indicator of homosexuality although a percentage will be and or Bisexual just the same as the population of men that don't choose to swap their trousers for a frock.
