They can't be, they are Genderless :P Obviously Rose wasn't gay, but she can't be straight either because Gems are genderless. (I personally see her as being panromantic!) The latter also applies to Pearl - no such thing as being straight if ya ain't got a gender!

Judging by how we've seen her act, (and all the ship teasing,) I get the feeling that Pearl only finds other Gems attractive. She doesn't think very highly of humans, nor does she understand human relationships, so It really wouldn't be out of character for Pearl to only be attracted to other Gems. That being said, if this were really the case with her, then wouldn't it be correct to refer to Pearl as being gay since, Pearl = genderless, All other Gems = genderless, & Attraction to the same gender = homoromantic ? I'm asking because ik that being genderless means that Gems can't be straight, but since they're a "one-gender race," doesn't that mean that they can be gay? ( Purely by our concept of romantic orientations because the Gem concept of romantic orientation is meaningless. )

And to stay on topic: I think Pearl was in love with Rose Quartz, yes. They're not even trying to be subtle about it.
