I agree that just because something doesn't directly contradict a character's history, that it's not automatically a good idea for the character. For me personally, Kaidan and Miranda seem like the best s/s options if they're going to expand existing LIs. Kaidan never got the right signals from Shepard, and Miranda was too fixated on her fertility questions to consider a woman at that point, or she just didn't get the right signals from Shepard either. Both are very "complicated" personalities who don't necessarily put everything out there on display for Shepard, so they're the best candidates for having 'held something back' from Shepard in general, not just in regards to sexuality.
The "losing you was like losing a limb" line is the reason I wouldn't be shocked if Kaidan turned out to be bi (I've never seen that line myself - Ash lived in every single one of my profiles). With Miranda, at least part of it is just seeing her as the most likely out of the batch of previous LIs to be bisexual, but for actual character-based reasons, it would be her not knowing how Shepard would react (Tali says this is the reason she never told Shepard in ME1 about her feelings). Being genetically engineered might also have something to do with it.
With Tali and Thane, it's mostly just because those options were supposedly in there for ME2 before being cut.
Ash is a tough, no-nonsense gal, and I think that if she was into FemShep, she wouldn't have been all that shy about it. Same with Jack, though with Jack's history I could see her having been very hurt by Manara(?) and much less receptive to women in general as a result (otherwise, why doesn't she hate Miranda and Jacob equally?).
Ash actively pursues Shepard in ME1, albeit somewhat coquettishly, to the point where some people have found themselves ninjamanced (I've never figured out why it is people are unable to see the signs or what they're doing, but there you have it), so yeah, I think that if she was interested she would have gone for it.
Jack, as I've said, is the only one who flat-out states she's not into girls.
And the non-asari alien romances weird me out anyway, so s/s implementation is no more or less weird to me. 
Heh, I romanced Ash and Tali on my primary MShep and Garrus on my primary FemShep. I guess it's just the Kirk wannabe in me. :innocent:
Anyhow, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to exclusively m/m or f/f options - in fact, my preferred way of handling things in DA2 would have been a 2 straight/2 bi/2 gay paradigm. But, and apologies if this bursts some people's persecution bubbles, I highly doubt there will be a massive outcry about exclusively homosexual options, no more than people complain about exclusively heterosexual options.
I really wanted to romanced Ash as a FemShep back in the ME1 days, but the option wasn't there, so I sucked it up, didn't romance anybody, and later went for Garrus.

Something where they can go get drinks and get to know each other in the same way as the romance, but as friends.
I think she flirts with Shepard no matter what he/she says as long as she is alive. I know I'm late to the "automatically initiated romance subplots are annoying" party, but isn't considering Shepard to be in a relationship with Shiala at the end of ME2 going a little far? If not, Shepard may need to start sleeping with a can of weed killer under their pillow.
