We're had a few female characters who may be gay or bi - plus the Caphans, of course - and some of CSFB's cast. LL liason Amber St Clare was probably the first to be referenced as lesbian. Shep (character and poster) was pretty open about having tried girls but generally preferring boys. I can't think of any male characters who are gay, probably because of the most-male-protagonists-are-poster-characters thing.

Another factor in this is that at the time the Parodyverse began in the 90s there were almost no gay comic book characters (I think Northstar was about it) and so the parody versions ported here were default straight also. And when others, including me, began writing posters' characters we all tended to assume a hetronormative default, so even if a poster was gay and might have avoided their character's hetero entanglements, nobody felt able to say anything about it and so their characters were portrayed thereafter as straight.
