I wonder Why Gay/Straight is not simply a trait. It would have simplified the whole thing.
Because it would discriminate against the bisexuals?
Personally, I think it's because EA wants to keep the homosexuality in the game on the down low ;) so to speak. I don't think they want to advertise it, but just leave the option for those who wish the play that way. That worked fine in TS2. The issue I have with TS3 is that with story mode the neighborhood sims go off and do things on their own and find their own mates. By default they are all completely straight though. It would be nice if there were a way to get some percentage of them to be gay or bi without me having to go around the neighborhood and sock puppet them all into romances or hacking into their stats in the savegame editor and just generally jumping through hoops.

You could try removing SOME of the females from the game. I think Sunset Valley has a large proportion of females to males to begin with. The Roomies have 3 girls to 2 males. There's the other one in the same compound, 4 females. There are the working mothers, Crumplebottom, Kennedy, Joline and that pregnant woman, Frio's ex—she always has a girl, Alto has a daughter and many others have a couple daughters to one male. I haven't actually counted them out but I feel when I first start a new game there are a lot of females compared to males. I've found that by removing some of the females, the males will actually show a gender preference—without any more of my help. If you remove the females totally, the males don't hesitate to form relations with other males without my bidding. I'll never forget when I first started using the 12 woohoo, I entered the Goth home and here's one of the Goth boys woohoo'ing with Malcolm Landgraab, which was a surprise. If you tip the balance a bit in the hood, you might get some different results.
Now I know from using SimPE in the Sims2, the genders were actually very balanced, it was almost the same amount of males to females but for the Sims3, I don't get that feeling. One of these days I'll count them out just to satisfy my own curiosity but should it work out more females to males, I'd have to agree with EA toning down the homosexual capability of their product.

One more last comment on the genders. I spent all day yesterday setting up a brand new game, cleaned out the hood and now have a male only hood. I also made sure all the gender preferences were set to 0 just to see what happens. I ended up turning off story mode because I had SO many romances going on I could not keep up with it and I'm still tweaking the hood so I can safely say, in an all male surrounding, even with a gender preference set to 0, that does not stop them from romancing each other. In a more balanced hood with mixed genders, I'm sure the preferences would kick in with more discrimination.

By chance, do you have a clean copy of your all-male neighborhood available for sharing? ;)
