Men and women have the same number of nerve endings in their nipples, and they are both connected to the same brain region. One might argue that a man's is more sensitive because on average men have smaller nipples, but generally speaking they feel the same.

The biological function of the female nipple is to allow a baby to breast feed. The nipple is sensitive so that it can signal the mammary gland to secrete milk, when a baby is suckling. This process is also mediated by hormones, but there is a reinforcing effect if there is also tactile stimulation of the nipple.

The areolas are sensitive because of all the nerve endings there.

Are overly sensitive nipples a sign of being gay?

In a word, No. A person's physical build, voice, or mannerisms have nothing to do with being a homosexual. Additionally, "overly sensitive" is a very subjective term, and could be caused by any number of factors, including age, use of steroids or hormone therapy. Sometimes, people just have very sensitive nipples. Unless you are over 18, have breast tenderness, and/or discharge from your nipples, I wouldn't worry about it too much. (If you are under 18 and going through puberty, sensitive nipples and breasts - that's right, guys have 'em too - are 100% normal.)
