Amazing use of the word "gay" in your post. I can't remember the last time I heard anyone use it so many times in the same breath. Of course, you're likely only 12, which would limit your vocabulary to the simpler things, so I suppose that's the best you can do. ;)
Still, I can't see it as being "gay" or proving that a person is homosexual if they choose to roleplay as a female. I think it's more likely that the individual is looking to make the game itself that much more varied. Gender exploration? Yes, to a point. Having role-played either gender in a variety of places, paper as well as online RPGs, it is simply amazing to see how differently you are viewed when you play the opposite gender. It *does* help one to understand, at least to a small amount, what being the opposite gender is like, at least if you're role-playing. This is not the same thing as a male making a female character and acting like a cheap slut online beccause they think they're l33+.
Of course, you probably think I'm gay. ;-p
