Y'all my gay friend asked me if there was a possibility if I'd like gay people w/ the goal of dating

I know I'm not supposed to create 600 different scenarios from this one question but my brain just did it. I love my friend of course in a totally platonic way and he also has a boyfriend so I know he wasn't asking for himself. He asked this to me while all our other friends were present and they were like of course Ella(Me) won't date gay people cuz she's straight. But it actually made me think for a hot minute. Would I actually consider dating gay people even though I'm straight? Deep down I knew the answer was yes. I mean if I like you of course I'd consider you. Now I'm wondering which gay person my friend was talking about cuz he's not telling me who and was just asking "Hypothetically" now I can't get it out of my head
