What.it.does.it.mean.to.be.gay?

So I was wandering aimlessly about the internet, as I am wont to do when I stumbled upon this;

hot right?
That's Bruce Caitlyn Jenner posing for a selfie with ex wife Kris Jenner, if you didn't already know.And I was like "hmmm", then I was like "is he she still attracted to her?" So I decided to ask google.
I was like "google?"
Google was like "yeah?"
"Is Caitlyn still attracted to Bruce?"
Google said "tf am I supposed to know?"
So I binged that shit, and I found this; (her words are in pink because it's so rad)
"Honestly, I just don't even know that, I don't even want to go there right now. I'm just happy living myself.
Which I found unsatisfactory. So I did what all trueborn Nigerians do; Ignorantly assume shit. Caitlyn Bruce Jenner is still attracted to chicks okay? (at least for this post)
Which brings us to the question; what does it mean to be gay?
Miriam Webster thinks being gay is to be homosexual. Now for those of us that don't know, homosexual is a hybrid word derived from the Greek "homo" which means "same" and the Latin "sexual" which means "place you shit from". The etymology is subject to interpretation
Now that we all know what it means to be gay, lets move on to what it means for Brucelyn. Is she gay or not?
A few years ago, to me all sex changes were due to being gay. You want to screw dudes, but you're a guy, so you do a sex change, to help you screw dudes, that was it. The same also applied to girls.
This dude wouldn't have a problem screwing guys though
But that was the past and this is the present , where old norms are constantly being redefined. Yesterday's "mullato" and "black people" are today's "biracial" and "African Americans". Blame political correctness. What is today's straight and gay?
 
And this is the question that Brucelyn poses to modern society. Since people don't do sex changes just because they are gay, how do we label them? What category do they fall under?  Can one change from being gay to being straight?  Is Brucelyn gay because she is a woman attracted to another woman? That would mean that gayness is a purely physical thing wouldn't it?
Some would argue that gayness is a state of mind. Which would mean that when Bruce was still married to Kris and a dude, he was lesbian, since he was a woman upstairs and whatnot.
These are really grey areas. Can someone please come up with a chart for this?
 
Who is gay? Who is straight? And what lies in between? And more importantly.
Am I gay if I think this is hot?
No Seriously
