I understand that from an emotional POV but I'm not sure it has to be that way and I am very sure it shouldn't; I don't want to live in a world where the only way to be intimate and equal with someone is to be the same gender. I understand where you're coming from because (having had a really sexist, heteronormative religious upbringing) when I first discovered slash I felt the same way - yay here is a space for romance without having to deal with gender inequality! But these days I'm in an LTR with a guy and while saying this is 'equal' would imply a level of perfection that I'm not sure exists, we're intimate and we make decisions together. I don't know that I'd have a better relationship if I was with a woman instead, or if I was a guy. And hey, believing in equality means believing that the genders of the people in a relationship do not dictate its depth, its intimacy, its meaningfulness or anything else. You can have beautiful relationships with guys wherever you end up settling on the gender spectrum.

It sounds like you're handling this well; top marks for classiness. I don't think it's wrong to get involved with characters in this way (obviously) but I do think it's by necessity a private activity. It's dancing on that line between imaginative play and deep instinctive conviction, and involving other people in that just leads to stuff like VB (more here; this shit makes the FF7 House look tame).
