Gay and bi- working in retail industry for 15+ years and a few extended family relatives. Transgendered- couple of landscape clients over the last 19 years.
True hermaphrodites- 2 second cousins that were twins. One turned out real screwed up end up in Folsom the other a successful tax attorney. Doctors believe both father and mother had their reproductive organs affected by repeated longterm pesticide exposure back in the 50's and 60's
I'm sure there were others mixed in there but didn't pay attention.

A couple family members, and a few others - mostly "married" couples, one said couple we have had to dinner, either together, or single as circumstances arose (no pun). .
Nice guys. They frequently travel overseas together with a hetero couple that are also friends of ours.
None of my business who is sticking what in whom as consenting adults - and I don't want it to be. I don't like the gay-lifestyle "Nazis".

Yes - have known many homosexual people in my lifetime, starting with two or three in HS who were classmates - one of those a good friend at the time - and many during the 60+ years since then throughout my work in more than one field. Quite a range of personality types and degrees of ethical and professional behaviors among all of those. As for the OP comment about such matters being shoved down our throats on TV, I do find that agenda and plot to be overbearing and offensive sometimes. In my experience, it is good and helpful to remember the differences between the personal positioning and behaviors of various individual homosexuals as compared with the actions of those who have grabbed the reins of the organizations espousing very activist homosexual political and social agendas, Significant differences according to my experience.
To answer the original question in all seriousness.....................yes. More than one.
One friend, at one time a roommate before coming out, served honorably for 13 years in the USN.
Another friend was more of a flamer, worked as a hairstylist. Still love the guy.
A third, female, was what was known back in the day as a "tomboy" all her life. Family was in the loggin industry, she was right out there in the field with them from a young age. Later still dressed in "men's" clothing and worked at "men's" work. Had her come up to my place and help with swapping engine/transmission in a car I had. I was very appreciative of her help. She weren't bad looking either and would have been a catch for anyone I think, except she was a bit of a hard ass.
A very good friend of mine found his soulmate a few years back, a great gal that takes very good care of him. She likes girls too, and sometimes brings one home to play with. He especially likes it if the playmate is cute. Raising some decent kids. Is she "gay".
All have been decent citizens for a good portion of their lives. One even liked "Jesus" but wasn't so fond of the treatment given him by some of His followers.
Oh, I forgot to mention the first cousin that is no longer a he but a she. We were never too close, as we grew up on opposite sides of the country.
Don't think any I know of owned a .270. Maybe the tomboy, pretty sure she hunted but I don't know with what caliber.

PS, I also know and like black folks, Mexicans ( I married a partial one), Chinee, Japanee, Pilipinos, and maybe a Jew. No A Rabs at this time, but I once worked for and with a bunch of Lebanese Armenians (they know the value of a nickel as well Jews by the way). Might have lived on a Rez once too, so know a coupla Injuns, mostly good folks.
PPS Am I multicultural in my dealings with folks?
