Meyer has said before with her vampires that it's possible that gay ones exist, she just never wrote about them, and that trait would stay with them as a vampire so we could only assume it would be the same with shifters as well. It seems silly to think they would imprint upon a female as their soulmate when they don't see a female as attractive.

If they did imprint on female  then I would assume that it would be a platonic imprinting. He would be a best friend and brother to her. Leah could also imprint on a female and it be much of the same thing, she could be a best friend or a sister. Someone who would offer her the support of getting over Sam, and the strength to be everything she thinks she can't be.

It's said that all shifters love their imprintee romantically at some point, but really it also said that females didn't shift, and Leah proved that wrong.

A soulmate is not always someone you love romantically, they can be just as Billy said someone who offers you support when you need it the most. I think that gay imprinting could very much be a real and possible thing with the shifters, if a shifter was gay. I hate that it seems Twilight has tried to show that your soulmate is someone you love romantically when it's not. If a shifter was gay then I would assume that their imprintee would be platonic or they would imprint on someone who was also gay. Their imprintee could still be someone who would be their best chance at reproducing, but maybe more as a surrogate than an actual romance partner.
