No, it's not that I'm gay (in fact I'm a bit of a homophobe; that's besides the point, however). It actually is because I have an immunity to most poisons/venoms. I gradually developed this immunity through years of exposure to them, of which my body then grew and grew in tolerance until it simply became unaffected by the venoms/poisons.

Besides, even if I didn't have the immunity the basilisk's gaze wouldn't have as much of an effect on me as it would with others. This is because I'm generally resistant to most magical attacks, effects, and debilitations. The gaze of the basilisk is largely magic-based.
