Love Interests and Gender

So, in the games there are two ways of handling love interests’ gender, and that’s either that the characters have a set gender, and you can romance the ones that match up with your chosen sexuality, or the characters’ genders change depending on what sexuality you pick.

All I’m wondering is, which method do you prefer? Personally, I prefer the latter, simply because I always play as a gay male character, so it’s kind of annoying that I’m locked out of certain paths because of that. But I get that the former has its uses and reasons, like it can be important to the story/character.
