Are people who play female protagonist gay?

Might have already been said, but the point of a role playing game is that you can have an opportunity to play as someone different to yourself.
What is this arcane notion? you should always roleplay yourself! in Vic's case:

What about games that force you to play a segment as a female character, for example Witcher 3?
Not gay if your only choice is to play a woman. Gay if you choose to be a woman when you could have been male character.

Also, all this "role playing is about playing a role" bullshit. Yeah, a role that matches your sex. If my son pretends to be a fireman or a policeman or a superhero he's pretending normally. If he's pretending to be wonder woman something's wrong.

- If it's a single-player RPG and there is a choice in gender I will always play a male, no question.

- If it's a party-based game in which I create all members and gender is an option, I always choose at least one female character to be the healer/emotional support, etc. This also provides interest and balance to the party and avoids the dreaded sausage fest.

Has there ever been an RPG in which the opposite genders in your party have children and those children eventually become members of the party as well?

Dragon Quest IV(?) Can't remember exactly which DQ title it was but I think it was that one.
I think some harvest moon games also allow you to basically do a NG+ as your child. Not RPG but it came to mind.

I've heard about agarest, which is a jrpg centered around this gimmick, ie you choose the waifu at the end of each act that is going to carry your child which is going to be the MC for the next act.
Never played though, last time I checked review/comment, half of them were saying that the game suck as it is just mindless grinding that get increasingly obnoxious, the other half are people debating about whether it was okay or not for the western release to censor the loli sex scene.

Massive Chalice.

Not a JRPG, but the same gameplay loop.
You start with a bunch of young heroes from different bloodlines, with each combat mission they grow older.
As they mature you can set them as rulers of different regions and start cross-marrying them to each other.
The off-springs inherit thier parents' stats and classes (and that how you can get hybrid classes) and take their place in the field teams
before growing too old to fight. And so on and so on.

Fire Emblem game(s) have done this from what i've heard. It involved a time skip or something too or some such.
And if you didn't bother to make them like each other, they married someone else, and your new characters didn't inherit theirs AWESOME traits.

You’re basically pretending to be a girl. How is that different from cross dressing?
You are ogling cute feet on rag doll.
You are ogling cute body on character.
You are playing dress up.
