As an actual LGBT fan of the series, I am thrilled that the love interests include characters that are straight, gay, and bi, as well as characters that are just not interested in Shepard regardless. I for one think it just doesn't make sense for everyone to be bi, as with marriageable NPCs in Elder Scrolls V. And I'm glad that there's finally some LGBT representation in such a blockbuster series. If it were me, I would implement that Shepard would have the ability to flirt with anyone, but that only a few people would flirt back, possibly politely declining in the same way as Mordin Solus, who is arguably asexual (representing an even smaller and lesser-known minority!) I don't think it's a PR thing, but I do think it's a big step in the right direction to making games that include everyone and that everyone can have their own fun with. Though, I do have to say, I found the similarities between the genders and gender roles in the alien races to those of (western) humans to be a little strange at best, and perhaps even a little worrisome. It's put off a bit by the fact that male and fem Shepard are equally kickass and awesome, but then again... I don't think I've actually seen a female turian ingame, nor a female krogan before ME3.
