FWIW, I think Matt wrote the paragraph above. I didn't. Onward...

Statistically, heterosexuals far outnumber bisexuals or homosexuals. I do
not intend to debate the merits or meaning of this; just a statistical
note. In different societies, these tendencies are interpreted in very
different ways. In some, a certain degree of homosexuality is considered
perfectly normal, up to a certain age. In others, any non-marital
sexuality is considered bad, but homosexuality is "less bad" than
extra-marital heterosexual experiences, and bisexuality is, oddly, worst of
all.
Overall, I think it's probably just buying trouble to try to assign an
advantage/disadvantage rating to varying forms of sexuality. First, you're
going to offend someone, no doubt about it. Second, such ads/disads would
have to be made relative to a single culture. Third, even if you said
homosexuality was a disad, someone could easily turn this into an
advantage, e.g., by becoming the secret (and powerful) consort to the king
(okay, that's a stretch in a MUD-like situation). Finally, if you're going
to include hetero- and homosexuality, what about other forms? Are you
going to include necrophilia and fetishists? Talk about your disads...
