This feels like splitting hairs when 'gay' as a player facing defined pawn trait has been in the game since 2016, where people were already pointing out its implementation was mechanically problematic since it took up the same slot of an actual personality trait.
Having the system function so that women without the gay trait do not refuse romantic interactions from other women, while men without the gay trait do refuse romantic interactions from other male pawns is a deliberate design choice that was worth questioning at the time.
And to give the dev some credit, he has since moved sexuality to its own system where it doesn't take up a personality slot
