The Statistical Probability of a Queer FTL Drive

There was a kerfluffle over the romantic interests in Mass Effect 3-- as in, "where are the straight people?" Gay people in space are simply not believable. When it's pointed out that we're talking about a universe in which you can romance aliens, fly at faster-than-light speeds, save musical telepathic space spiders, fight a bunch of sentient machines, and all that stuff, our dear heterosexuality crusaders say that this is not at all hypocritical. "Science fiction of course has things that are not possible, but the whole point of sci-fi is that is is meant to be 'imaginary but more or less plausible'. Good fiction has to feel 'realistic'" and "How is it kind of gross? I've always wanted Bioware to be realistic when it comes to romance options, to have some straight, some bi, some same sex only - that's the way the real world works. I know that's not going to happen because Bioware likes to go down the 'everyone is bi' path so we can all romance whoever we please and play the game the way we want but it does annoy me :-/"

It made me wonder about science-fiction tropes. FTL is not too fanciful to suspend disbelief for, but gay people are. It made me wonder if their ideas of FTL were related to the statistical probability of the proportion of queer characters to straight.

Would this mean a ship full of queers would go faster?
