Poe X Kylo when he returns to the light side.
He's the most likely candidate but I wouldn't mind if it was Rey tbh.
And even with multiple in your face straight romances in the existing films people deny that there is sexuality in star wars; it's interesting how people don't associate multiple romances between straight characters with sexuality but I bet they'd consider even innuendo that a character is gay as "sexual."

I don't think it's necessarily a one sided thing, the chemistry was obvious, even if unintentional on Boyega's part. But I doubt their supposed romance will be addressed at all, at least overtly.
More than likely they'll just carry on as planned with Finn, while introducing someone new for Poe. They might add some sort of subtle realization on Poe's part that pursuing Finn wouldn't work out, but beyond that I think it'll just carry on as originally planned. Again, I'd love to be wrong, and they just go hard with Poe x Finn, but as long as whichever route they take is handled properly, and not just treated as some sort of token interaction that's quickly swept under the rug, I'll be happy. (And that it involves Poe. His participation is non-negotiable.)

Poe was flamboyant?
God damn, I can't stop laughing now.
That's a great idea actually.

Poe wants Finn. Finn denies Poe and gets Rey. Poe is angry, and goes to the Dark Side.

The important thing is for the gay character to be super well written, or else he'll be a token gay character. He needs to match the incredible richness and depth of each and every straight character, or else what's even the point of making him gay?

Yeah I know, it'd be better if Rey went to the Dark Side and Poe and Finn hooked up.

Finn x Poe or bust. No other pairing matters.

While stormpilot is the obvious
answer, for some reason I could totally see Phasma getting in on the action too.

I kinda feel like this too.
*Black Male Lead, Shows Interest in White Female Lead*
*OMG did you catch the chemistry between him and Oscar Isaac!*
I understand that both pairing would be progressive, but bleh.
I hope it's Finn and Rey, and that's kinda where I thought they were going.
And don't get me started on the Kylo/Rey stuff.

Cool, but I hope it isn't forced for the sake of it and that they really focus on making it feel natural, realistic and believable. There should be gay characters in everything really, LGBT make up to 10% of the population. But since other minority's are still struggling for recognition and screen time it ain't happening any time soon unfortunately.
Might want a sneaky piece on the side...
Good point, ideally that would happen but unlike with when it comes to casting people of certain races, it leads to some great acting opportunities when a straight person plays gay, so I'm fine with it being either way.
But it's always great to see a gay person get to play a gay character, because openly gay actors getting work is important as well.

Or Finn could be bi or pans and start out interested in Rey, but develops feelings for Poe by the end.

Where's the fan art of Hux nursing Kylo back to health?
Sorry, Kylo already got his eye on a different prize
Looking forward to that NTR in Episode VIII.
Sad to see this franchise become a PC mouthpiece.(( First we have to believe black people and women can be heroes, and now they're going to try to tell us that gay people exist in the Star Wars universe.
George Lucas isn't dead, so he can't be rolling in his grave, but I know he's rich enough to buy a tilt-a-whirl. He's probably whirling and twirling in grief for his beloved creation as we speak.
10/10.
Perfect imitation of a typical response from those bigots. There must be a factory of this recycle comments somewhere they cut and paste.
Wait, you didn't say "I have gay friends but..." as a preamble. Point deducted. 9/10

Good news, but Abrams has nothing to do with the upcoming Star Wars films.

He's actually producing them and advising on story.
Edit: Sorry! Misunderstood your post at first as "it's good news that JJ doesn't have anything to do with them"

This just reminded me of a guy complaining on Facebook that Sinjir in Star Wars Aftermath was a good character until it was revealed he was gay.
It's pretty hilarious how some people think the idea of gay people in the Star Wars universe is such a ridiculous concept.
