Hey.
First of all, islam does not forbid love or attraction to a member of the opposite sex - but instead, it channels it in a way which is permissible so both parties can live in tranquility and peace.
Allaah Almighty says in the Qur'an:
He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts.) [30:21]
The way islam permits love is through marriage, and it is sunnah and a muslim gets rewarded for being kind to their spouse;
Allah's Apostle (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah's sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth." (Sahih Bukhari)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The most perfect Muslim in the matter of faith is one who has excellent behavior; and the best among you are those who behave best towards their wives" (Tirmidhi)
It is encouraged from the above evidences to love and treat your spouses in the best way you can, and the reason why islam doesn't allow pre-marital relationships is due to the fact that they are insecure, the children who are born out of wedlock may not i.e. have a father to lookafter them, and instead of living an animal lifestyle - marriage is a bond which makes both parties feel secure.
Islam does allow contact between both parties before a marriage takes place, so both parties can meet each other and see if the other person is attractive, although this does have its limits i.e. their has to be a guardian for the female when both parties are in contact, and they can discuss what they would like in the future, and see if their personalities compliment each other etc.
If they agree, the marriage can take place.

Islam doesn't permit gay/lesbian acts, and it is a fact that this is not a natural attraction due to the fact that Allaah Almighty forbids it. That is sufficent for us as a proof.
Peace.
