I'd have to say my opinion on the matter depends on what the RP is about, and whether it's a group RP or a 1x1. I have seen certain roleplays before where the plot specifically revolves around heterosexual or homosexual pairings, and I've also found RPs where, due to the plot, it is absolutely necessary to have characters of a certain sexual orientation. Granted, those are far and few between, and if that is the case, it takes a really good plot to keep me interested.
In the case of group RPs, if the plot doesn't hinge on the above, it's kind of ridiculous to restrict people like that. I guess I just tend to avoid RPs that are far too restricting. In 1x1's I'm more lenient about this matter. I know that in the past I just haven't been into male/male pairings, and other times I have been. Sometimes playing a gay person makes people uncomfortable for various reasons. You never know.
