Best Answer

Gay is being sexually attracted to someone of the same sex as you, transgender is identifying a different gender than that listed on your birth certificate. A transgender person can be attracted to someone the same gender as the one they themselves were assigned at birth, so from a certain point of view it may look like gay and transgender people are the same. The difference is that a gay man still identifies primarily as male.

Transgender means a person changing their sex -- from male to female or vice versa.

Gay means homosexual or sexually attracted to members of the same sex -- males sexually attracted to males and females sexually attracted to females
