Disagree on that a bit. In the end, there still was female same-sex romance, various flings (Kelly, the Consort) and lots of lesbian undertones (Samara, Morinth). Heck, Liara had her own DLC and will end up having basically the biggest romance arc out of all the characters. There was absolutely nothing gay in ME1 & ME2. I would take gay content aimed at straight women over nothing aimed at gay men anyday.
The only one a lesbian gamer friend of mine said she really liked out of that list was Samara and that's just a psuedomance, still I agree with you that even that was more than what we've gotten, ManShep couldn't even flirt with one man in the whole game. But basically ME's romances have only ever been written for the enjoyment of the straight male gamer and any mileage our lesbian have managed to get out of it is just serendipity cause it certainly wasn't written with them in mind.
However I do fear more and more that Vega's going to be only romanceable bisexual male while f/f might not only get the new leading lady but also get the redesigned Ashley thrown in as well.

VEGA WILL BE A SAME-SEX OPTION.
VEGA WILL BE IN MOST OF THE GAME.
(BECAUSE HE'S THERE TO SAVE YOUR BUTT IF YOU EPIC FAILED AND KILLED YOUR ENTIRE ME2 SQUAD.)
VEGA WILL BE OUR AMAZING MALE SAME-SEX SAVING GRACE
AND WE WILL FORGIVE BIOWARE FOR EXCLUDING US FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.
Yes, In fact he'll be the only m/m option but he is never going to be my male same sex saving grace and if he turns out to be the only male same sex option I won't be inclined to forgive Bioware because my Sheps would still be celibate heroes in the end

considering how popular she is and
how much they freaking try force her to stay alive during the suicide
mission (didnt work though since my evil schemes managed to still get
her killed) i have no doubt she will be a long term party member and
important to the plot
Yes but this could actually be the first bit of good news I've had about this game if this means they might also give us Garrus back to balance things out since he's the other fan favourite. Even if he's not going to be s/s romanceable I'd be very happy to get my favourite Turian back.
Ah... well if nothing else I've got IsaacSheps awesome artwork as my office screensaver out of this silly comic con.
