There is no actually black-and-white answer to whether someone is a homosexual. It is a scale.
This answer depends on whether the transgender is considered to be of the opposite gender or of the same gender as the person who's sexuality is in question.
Gender may be defined by many factors, all of which are accurate and may be used individually:
1) primary sexual characteristics (penis=male vagina=female)
2) primary sexual characteristics after being altered by surgery (post-op)
3) desired gender (a male-to-female transexual=female, a female-to-male transexual=male)
4) legal status (what's on the driver's license or on a passport or birth certificate)
5) presentation (how does the person portray themself?) (i am intersexed without a gender id, so when i present myself as a male, i am male, and when i present myself as a female, people consider me female, even amongst those persons who know about my condition)
6) whatever the person says they are (my personal favourite): a person is the gender that they say that they are, regardless of any of the above factors. This is the most polite way of defining gender, and shows the most amount of etiquette, and is much much much more realistic than the other methods of determination.
For an example: A male who is with a male-to-female transgender is not homosexual if they consider the transgender to be female (see #'s 3,5,6 above). Said male is homosexual if the transgender is considered to be male (see #'s 1,4) above.
Trans-gender is a term that includes more then Male to Female and Female to Male transsexuals. those of us (like me) who don't fit as male or female and do not identify as the opposite of their birth sex can really make the words straight and gay meaningless. as an androgyne there is no opposite of me I have not met many others like me. so any relationship I'm in will not be able to be classed as totaly straight or gay the rest of the world may label it straight but we would know better
