Weaker/smaller male cuttlefish will pretend to be female cuttlefish, take “dick” (hectocotylus) from stronger male cuttlefish, and then use the distraction to breed with a female.
Not my line of expertise, but I’d guess it’s little different from us humans in that there’s nothing technical preventing reproduction with a member of the opposite sex - just a matter of desire to.
Apart from anything else, does that stop them from breeding?

Maybe the list of animals displaying homosexual behavior on Wikipedia can be a good starting place for research should you genuinely be curious about this.
