I know that fans have been excited about shipping Gems with each other since it shows such as Adventure Time, The Legend of Korra, & Clarence (never thought I'd say that ._. ) have pushed the LGBT movement in children's television (more specifcally, lesbian relationships). While I support this movement, there's one thing I've been thinking of in regards to sexuality and romantic relationships when looking at them from a Gem's perspective rather than a human's.

As we know, all Gems are sexless & refer to each other by using female pronouns for some yet to be explained reason, but that doesn't mean that they can't have romantic relationships with each other as we've seen with Ruby & Sapphire. That being said, people should also take into account that, since there are no "male" Gems (aside from Steven), these kind of relationships are obviously the status qup to Homeworld and the species in general, which could make what we consider to be homosexuality as the Gem equivalent to heterosexuality

For example, Roses love for Greg is considered an average (straight/hetero) relationship by Earth standards; however, when looking at it from Gem standards, doesn't this technically make Rose gay since it's very rare for a Gem to be in a relationship with someone who uses "he" pronouns?
