Same-gender courting gifts don't work

Each companion has their own gift preferences. I'm not sure if there are any same-gender companions that accept courting gifts. But you can definitely romance Theron in Shadow of Revan, so if that's what you're looking for I would play through that. 🙂

I believe he is talking about 4.0 , KOTFE. When you choose to romance him (it is a very clear choice with a pop up dialog box to confirm your choice of romance with him) he doesn't accept courting gifts. 

I've got the same problem with Mako (Bounty Hunter) and Vette (Sith Warrior). Also they react as if we didn't have a romance at all, so it seems there might be an issue that (some) romances got lost with the patch.
