Gay vs Lesbian vs Home Sexual

Exactly what do you use for the general term for a homo sexual person/ bi sexual/ trans?

Just curiously bored.

Well often on the news just "gay" is used.
Edit: I guess to not waste time.

In an average conversation, I'd use the word gay. Sometimes homosexual. In an essay or something I'd use homosexual, but if it's not that serious, I'd use gay.

bisexuals are bisexuals
homosexual or gay covers gay and lesbian
transsexuals are transsexuals

there's not really a single term for every one of them

Depends on the situation and who I am speaking to. To be PC I use "LGBT". But when I am writing essays etc, I use homosexual.

[i]Some[/i] people might use the term "Sodomite".
