Any physical comic book (not manga) that you can purchase (NOT porn) with any gay casually crossdressing male or gay male casually wearing feminine clothes (NOT transgender female), minor or major character doesn't matter?

Ignore this.
I don't know about gay. Crossdressing is something that both straight and gay people do. And I don't like to retcon characters into being gay just because they happen to crossdress. That's a little offensive to all people, no matter their orientation (judging a book by its cover).
Madame Fatal was a genuine Quality super-hero--a man who dressed up as a woman to fight crime--in CRACK COMICS.
Bugs Bunny is known to dress up as a woman (or female bunny?) and flirt with men. Not sure where that puts Bugs. As an anarchistic character he breaks all labels.
Classic Jimmy Olsen dressed up as a woman a few times, when he was doing an investigation. Dick Grayson dresses up as a woman in the old comic strip. Batman posed as a woman on one of his cases in the early '70s. Martian Manhunter is capable of being both female and male--I'd argue that J'Onn could be pansexual in that respect, but I'm not sure Martians have intercourse in the same way humans do.
That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are hundreds of examples.
edit: Oh yeah Shvaugh Erin in the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES was with the Science Police and fell in love with Elemant Lad. Many felt that Element Lad should be gay, so Shvaugn was retconned into being a man who became a woman. So really transgendered and not so much crossdressing. But this whole plot was controversial and confusing.

I never said all crossdressers are gay. That's why I emphasized looking for any crossdresser that's gay. It's offensive to you I'm looking for that? No, it really isn't. What's more offensive is that NO crossdressing character can be allowed to be gay apparently? By your own logic, you're offensive yourself for exclusively suggesting straight crossdressers.
I'm looking for GAY characters. I thought I made that clear? And I meant to say "casual" (updated that now), which means wearing a disguise to trick others doesn't count. And Martian Manhunter is a shapeshifter - that's genderswapping, not crossdressing.
Sorry. I was trying to avoid offending anyone and ended up offending. Forget everything that I posted, I clearly didn't understand the question.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
In Europe, the comics by gay creator Ralf Koenig are hugely popular with gay and straight audiences, and he shows all facets of the gay community.
Some of them have been published in the US in English, like "Bulls Balls" or "The Killer Condom".
Well... I guess that technically counts? It's not what I look for, but it probably counts. But to me, it's too unflattering and too cartoony. I was thinking more of comics with relatively realistic art styles, such as DC Comics and Marvel and Dark Horse and 2000 AD and Mirage and IDW (etcetera) regularly publishes.
I appreciate the attempt to help with an example though, and I apologize if I come across as rude.
The comic book Alters has a young male hero who dresses as a female hero. He is transgender, but it never says if he or she is gay.
Godshaper.
"The occassional drag night"? I said "casual crossdressing", which means someone dressing like that regularly. Wiccan is close to dressing feminine, but his outfit is at best gender neutral. Why they couldn't let him dress similar to Scarlet Witch, I will never know.
