Newsflash: Not everyone is gay. In fact, most people are straight. When Shepard is recruiting for his team, chances are the people on his team are going to be straight. I see it as less of a problem with customization; it's really just being a bit realistic. If Bioware chose to put one or two gay or lesbian characters on the squad, that would be fine too. If all the party members were bisexual, that would be just gratuitous.
