Although reliable numbers on the homosexual population are irritatingly difficult to aquire, the best numbers I could come across have the homosexual population in the us below 2% and the total of self-identified homosexual, bisexual, and transgender sitting at about 3.8%. even considering that another ~10% from the study might be considered 'bi-curious', this means that setting up ME3 a an 'everyone is bi/gay' is stretching it a bit, and at least in terms of socio-political aspects, the writers seem to want to favor plausibility.

I am not personally invested

Considering that some sort of same sex relationship has been hinted at, if not confirmed (not really following the topic that closely in general), this leave it open to everyone's guess as to which characters might be 'coming out' in ME3. I am intentionally omiting all asari characters because they are inherently outside of the norm due to being mono-gendered, Shepard is or isn't based on your say-so, Krogan characters are excluded for reasons of disturbing implications, and geth are asexual. What follows is my best guess, as any of them could turn out to be bi if BioWare says so.

Ashley WIlliams: Probably not. Seemed put-off by the idea of the Liara threesome. Religion may also play a role, though it is unclear what religion she actually follows.

Kaiden Alenko: Actually, probably not. He mentioned his crush back in BAAT training, and hooks up with femshep. While some claim he has femanine tendencies, I find these accusations lack real evidence, and unintentional femininity is not a reliable indication of sexual orientation.

Tali Zorah: Maybe. She's already looking outside of her own species (and protien type), so it doesn't seem like a stretch to me that she would be open to FemShep as well. She is not presented that way in ME1 or 2, though.

Garrus Vakarian: Doubtful. He seems wierded out by the idea of fooling around with a member of another species, and the only other sexual reationship we know about was with a female turian. However, since he is willing to forgo the species gap with Shep, he might also be willing to ignore the gender one.

Jacob Talor: Probably not. He showed no interest in MaleShep during ME2, and we know that he was in a relationship with Miranda before Lazarus.

Miranda Lawson: Probably not. Previous relationship with Jacob and a desire for a child noted in the Shadow Broker Dossiers present her as most likely a heterosexual.

Jack: Speficically no, though she has had bisexual experiences in the past. She actually thinks that FemShep is flirting with her in ME2 and says that she's not into the 'girls club' thing.

Thane: Doubtful. Same reasoning as Garrus.

Zaeed: Probably homosexual. For one, he shows no interest whatsoever in the opposite gender. Secondly, whenever he talks about going out to bars and nightclubs, he exclusively talks about going out with a group of guys. Third, his grudge against Vido seems to be more than just business differences and attempted murder, and I'm guessing that Vido was Zaeed's 'partner' in more than just running the Blue Suns.

Mordin Solus: Specifically no. Thinks you are flirting with him and explicitly states that he is not interested.

Kasumi Goto: Probably not. Expresses interest in Jacob and her former lover was also a male.

James Vega: Anyone's guess. No known history or interactions to base a guess on.
