I think the word would be curious

Exactly! I browsed the answers, and it doesn't seem like there are any good ones, because I feel similarly. As a bisexual girl, I am attracted to gay/bisexual men and certain gay/bisexual women. I am also attracted to straight men, but it comes secondary to learning that they swing *that way*. It most definitely doesn't mean that you are lonely or kidding yourself for wanting someone who doesn't want your gender (the only way that would be is if you kept pining for them, saved yourself for them, etc.). It just means you find them attractive and interesting. The more time goes on, the more I just call it 'queer'. That's what I am- I don't like women, I like gay women. Does that make sense? Part of their attraction for me is the fact that they're gay. I can 'legally' fantasize about them with that gender (particularly m/m), always have the option of a threesome (if I'd ever capitalize on it is a different matter), and more than that, share a common experience with them of the subversive nature of being gay/bi or attracted to that which is still a little wrong, a little rebellious. A big part of it is that gay people have had to endure different lives, that make them different people (oftentimes much more accepting, loving, etc., although that's not a blanket statement- there are jerks everywhere). That also appeals.
So, to recap: 'queer' if you like homosexuals of either gender or just the homosexuals of the gender that is not yours. If they're homosexuals of your gender, the word would probably be 'bicurious', 'bisexual', or 'homosexual'.

If you are a supposed straight male who is attracted towards a gay male then you might have some gay curiousty going on. You should give it a try.
If you are a straight female attracted towards a gay male then you might have some problems. He is gay and likes men.

there isnt really a word to desribe it.. the closest to it would be curious... if that even. u cant help who u develop feelings for, it jus happens.. and in my opinion it has nothing to do with the sex of the person.. .its who they are inside.. and if u like someone that is homosexual, and ur a guy... then u will have a chance to explore those feelings; same thing if ur a girl, and u like a homosexual girl.. and if u are a girl that likes a homosexual male, then.. u might be out of luck with this one... and vice versa

desire, attraction, infatuation, as far as i know (and i've been gay 30 years) there isn't a specific word that defines gay romantic feelings......gayfatuation, homottraction lolololol, if you mean gaydar thats that you know who's gay instinctively, it has nothing to do with being attracted to someone.

Gay if attracted to the same sex. Afraid of intimacy if attracted to gays of the opposite sex ('cause it ain't gonna happen there, LOL).

There isn't a word for it. HOWEVER, a female who likes to have lots of gay male friends is often referred to as a "f** hag" or just "hag" for short. : )

Well, the words are simple. When we like someone, we call it LIKING SOMEONE.
When we are attracted to someoen , we call it BEING ATTRACTED TO SOMEONE, and when we fall in love , we call it FALLING IN LOVE.
It is the same, whether you are gay, straight or bi.
