I don't think that any one is saying that Mihawk is gay, just that he would have enough skill and intelligence to avoid being turned to stone. (Kinda like Momonga did) Also I would not be surprised if some of the Shichibukai are Haki users and just haven't revealed it yet, so Hancock's beauty may no work at all.
