Would you play a game with a gay main charater?

I would if the character isn't gay just to be gay...as in, being gay is part of his character for a reason other then just to have a gay character (for example, if the story had a romantic subplot, etc.)
It depends. I would play as a character who happens to be gay, sure. It's not like it would effect gameplay at all or anything, although it may influence the story. But I've always prioritized gameplay over story, and on that note having a gay character by no means ruins a story.
Now I WOULD avoid such a game if the character were gay sheerly for the sake of having a gay character and making a point. Do you guys remember that Left Behind RTS a while back. I'm a dedicated Christian and that game's tenancy to put evangelism and preachyness before being a video game really started to annoy me after a while.
Yeah, it's odd trying to make a Christian game analogous to a possible game about gays, but I think my point has been made.

Sure, with the exception of porn games. Since if I ever to play one of those I'd rather it cater to me.
You want the short or the long answer? I'll give you the short.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Why should it matter?

Sure.
Why not? I play as the Scout, and we all know he has homosexual tendencies.
He loves his ball.

As long as it doesn't super stress the storyline somehow. Or end up in an "Its okay to be gay" kind of moral. I don't mind gay people in real life, so I wouldn't in a virtual world. I only get mad when a gay guy comes onto a straight guy or bi guy, and they really don't want him.
I dunno, I don't see the point of having a main character being gay for nothing other than shock value. And chances are the whole game will be just blatantly pointing out the characters homosexuality despite it adding nothing to the story or gameplay.
Depends on if the character is overly stereotypical.
If they are regular gay and not so gay that glitter flies out of the dudes ass every time he farts, then yeah I could care less.
But I will say this, it's only the gay man stereotype that annoys me, the overly butch chick amuses me greatly. Which I've had it explained to me before, it seems that the ultraqueer[sub]TM[/sub] homos tend to exemplify the most annoying qualities of women, and since I can't stand chicks like that, it's just as bad if not worse when men do it.
I'm gonna stop now before my mind drifts any further.

there are a lot of homosexuals on the escapist, so you'll get quite a few "yes, I'm gay in fact"
anyway, as long as the game doesn't go out of it's way to point it out all the time, then I wouldn't mind one bit.
