While my personal preferences take precedence here I would qualify my opinion by stating that I do not hold anyone's sexuality against them and I am friends with others of various sexual proclivities and persuasions. As long as people keep their private lives or controversial opinions to themselves I have no issues with anyone ever.

The 'hitting up on' others at work has never been anything I thought to be an interesting or fruitful endeavor. When you come to work there is a need for barriers because you're there to work and not to socialize or pursue sex partners or otherwise cavort in your carnal inclinations.

It's simply unseemly and can make co workers uncomfortable.

While I am a proponent of 'to each their own' likewise I don't view this as extended to unwanted advances toward any other regardless of their sexual orientation and the thought of such antics is repugnant to my existence.

So while I don't believe in gay, transexual, or any other identity political rights of that nature I do believe in human rights. While I don't believe you should hook up with a person of your own genome nor do I believe that you can 'fake' a sexual identity via your phenome ... I absolutely do believe we should not impinge on those who wish to be left alone.

The fact that I think you are a sick bird is neither here nor there in this context.
