God is what gender?

In light of Kamala Harris, I was reminded a very important question that is not thought off as much: is God gendered? This is a common question that is asked around the United Church of Christ and many social justice churches. This is a recurring topic in the classroom as well. I also pondered if people are as close-minded as we perceive.
Further questions: Did you notice that I (a heterosexual male) was wearing purple? Purple is normally a gendered color; associated with females. If you did, did you care? If not, does this answer our question about close-mindedness?

John 4:24
24 God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is.”

Colossians 3:12-14
Good News Translation
12 You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. 14 And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity.
