If this rendering is correct, Daniel 11:37 is saying that the Antichrist will not regard the “gods of his father, or the god desired by women, or any other god.”
Essentially, the NIV, ESV, NLT, and CSB all agree that the phrase is referring to “something that women desire,” with the NIV and ESV leaving the something unidentified, while the NLT and CSB identify the something as the “gods” the Antichrist will forsake.
Similarly, 2 Thessalonians 2 addresses his self-glorification and deception, not personal attractions.
If “desire for women” is the proper understanding, the Antichrist’s forsaking of it could be an indication that he will be gay/homosexual. This fits perfectly with the rest of Daniel 11, which states that the Antichrist will not worship any god except for a god of war.
However, there is a second way to look at the verse. The MacArthur Bible Commentary.
In other words, these heathen women were drawn to certain female idols or goddesses (queen of heaven, Astarte, Venus, Ashtaroth, Diana, et cetera). Daniel 11 is teaching us that the Antichrist will not follow any religion except that of a god of war. .” In all likelihood, Daniel would have been more specific about the sexual orientation of the Antichrist if that's what he was trying to convey.
So, while the Antichrist’s showing no regard for “the desire of women” could indicate that he will be gay/homosexual, that is not the only possible interpretation of Daniel 11:37, and it is definitely not the most plausible interpretation.

WILL THE ANTICHRIST BE A HOMOSEXUAL?

A portion of the Holy Spirit’s description of the Antichrist—the future, apostate political leader in Israel—is found in Daniel chapter 11.
Nowhere is a sexual inclination singled out. Scripture suggests that his moral stance, including any personal relationships, stands under a much broader condemnation of repudiating God’s design and exalting himself in place of God.
Conclusion
No scriptural passage definitively states the Antichrist’s sexual orientation.
In this reading, the ruler’s rejection of the “desire of women” is an emblem of his rejection of the Messiah or disregard for any deity or authority other than himself. This emerges consistently in Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation: the Antichrist’s defining feature is not a particular orientation but a potent, final, and idolatrous challenge to divine authority.
John Walvoord notes:
“Although Daniel is not specific, a plausible explanation of this passage, in light of Daniel’s Jewish background, is that this expression, the desire of women, is the natural desire of Jewish women to become the mother of the promised Messiah, the seed of the women promised in Genesis 3:15.”[2]
Many Jewish women had the desire to be the mother of the Messiah, the promised redeemer of both Israel and the world.
Daniel: The Key to Prophetic Revelation. This is how we know it is the last hour.”
None of these passages explicitly defines the Antichrist’s sexual orientation. As Christians, we need to be careful to interpret the Bible in its original context. In a Jewish context (remember Daniel was a Jew), the one “desired by women” could be the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Taken on face value, the text is highlighting his singular obsession with power and disregard for conventional devotion-whether to gods, traditions, or normal human attachments.
In the final analysis, Scripture’s central warning about the Antichrist is not about his personal desires but about his rebellion against God and his deceptive role in leading many astray.
