If you want a gay/lesbian character in WoW then just roleplay one? If you want a transvestite character in WoW then play the opposite sex? I don't see the problem here. Your sexuality can be whatever you want in WoW. Can't it?
From what I can gather from the silly arguments being banded back and forth on those forums, it's mostly about representation within the game itself. The RPers, who care to, have been RPing it for seven years so that's not the issue.
Personally, I don't think WoW is the type of game where implementing that kind of thing is all that important. TOR, for example, is different since it has personal romances for the PCs. In WoW, romance has never been a part of the player experience, unless you roleplay it. For most of the NPCs, their sexuality isn't even indicated. So I'm not sure why it's such a big deal either way.
