Re: can you be gay but not interested in sex?
Yes, absolutely. You can be gay and not interested in sex. Sexual orientation (who you're attracted to) and sexual desire (your interest in sex) are distinct aspects of identity, so someone can feel romantic or emotional attraction toward people of the same gender without necessarily having a desire for sexual activity.
This experience aligns with people who identify as asexual (having low or no sexual attraction) while still feeling romantic attraction, sometimes called homoromantic asexuality for those interested in romantic relationships with people of the same gender. There are many ways to experience attraction and relationships, and it's entirely valid to be gay without an interest in sex.
