Sheesh, last week it was gay boys, this week it's trannys. Fickle, fickle.
I occasionally go to at a gay bar in NYC where lots of latin guys hang out. Also mixed in are lots & lots of latina/o trannies. And mixed into THAT are this group of really rough-looking puerto rican guys. They wander around looking dangerously straight (you go through a strip search to get in the club), avoiding any contact with the gay boys, and chatting up the trannies. So. Seems like it's an acquired taste with at least a few straight boys out there (paging Eddie Murphy, white courtesy phone please).
