No, I can't see myself doing that. Probably just one the people I would spend time with the most, but I wouldn't be able to go any farther than friends.

Unfortunately not. I find the thought of two guys having sex (or even kissing) to be gross. Please note: I'm not homophobic, they can do it all they want, but i don't want to be a part of it. As a result it would be impossible for me to display or receive any affection as i'd be far too uncomfortable with it and it would make the whole situation incredibly discomforting for both parties. Part of this might also be with having been brought up in a highly conservative environment where being gay is as bad as being a paedophile. Regardless, i am straight and it just wouldn't work for me. However i think i could subscribe to the idea that "anyone can fall in love with anyone else regardless of gender" but without any need for the sexual stuff. For example, two men or two women could be in love with each other or feel like they love each other but have absolutely no desire to have sex with each other and are straight. Sort of like how asexuals find partners. (if there are any asexuals on this site i'm sorry if i'm being presumptuous)

TL;DR version: No, i could not overlook gender.

You mean "sex" not "gender"

Sorry just a minor pet peeve of mine, they aren't interchangable.

Sex, I couldn't, I don't have enough physical attraction to females to sustain a relationship.

Gender? I could probably handle it, dating a feminine male could be cool, but I highly doubt it would last long term

Not really, no. I have strong attractions to femininity. The only males with strong feminine features are ten year old boys... and they don't stay that way long and only look that way in the first place because prepubescents are essentially androgynous.

Yes, I know about drag queens and "traps," they rely entirely on makeup, clothing, high contrast, camera tricks, and surgery, look horrible in the absence of even one, and don't even look that great when the moons of Jupiter align properly with the moons of saturn in conjunction with their photoshoot.

Sex and gender mean the exact same thing. What you're confusing for gender are gender roles.

Transgenderism is a completely redundant term, thus, completely meaningless.

No, I would just keep them has my good friend. Why make a relationship out of something that doesn't need to be a relationship? Just turn it into one of those shows with two men who live together and have funny escapades.

No, your sexuality is apparently wired into your brain.
They found the 'homosexual' gene a while ago.

Unless that was in a dream I had...

No, I couldn't. And no, that's not me saying anything against homosexuals before I get flamed. I just have a very, very strong leaning toward women that (much like a pissed-off child) refuses to be ignored.

In a relationship more than friends, I don't think I could overlook gender. Life may deem it otherwise, but for now I see no reason why it should. I'm very much attracted to women.

i'd keep him around as a friend and room-mate and since given the situation i would never be able to marry a woman there would be no reason for me to make him move out i wouldn't press a relationship because it would be weird and i do have a irrational fear of "catching" the gayness to put it bluntly actually this has already happened i had a friend i could tell anything to and i did actually call him my soul-mate (though in my thought a soul-mate is a person that feels like family to you) unfortunately his life went down the crapper so i convinced my dad to let him stay with us but he ran off after his girlfriend died and now he's a drug addict and hopeless isn't life grand?

Well, that depends. I wouldn't be looking for the same thing in a man as I would seek in a woman.

I could never have a sexual relationship with a male. I find them repulsive and could not force myself to fuck them (and never ever is anything going to fuck me). So some sort of a platonic love affair might happen. But "just friends" is a much more desirable solution in my book.

No. For one, it is gross. For two, I have a friend that is pretty much just like me, but I could never do that with him. I highly doubt I could ever feel that way about a guy.

No. He may be everything I want in a person, but the fact remains that I would never be attracted to him. I couldn't just become gay. I don't think it works that way.

no, that person would make an awesome best friend, but my sexuality just gets in the way there
