Please bear in mind I'm not taking this terribly seriously. Spending just 10
minutes on brin-l stuff a day means I can't talk about anything important
and time consuming. :) This sort of thing has been discussed to death years
ago and repeatedly on the rec.arts.startrek newsgroups as part of Usenet's
"Great Floating Homosexuality Flamewar".

Hmmm... that's like a company with thousands of employees, all straight,
saying that it was representative of the population since no team had more
than nine members.
Anywho, to be fair, any non-baseline human should be disregarded. That means
you're left with:
Baseline humans:
Jean-Luc Picard
William T. Riker
Beverly Crusher
Geordi LaForge
Benjamin Sisko
Miles O'Brien
Kathryn Janeway
Chakotay
Tom Paris
Harry Kim
Others:
Deanna Troi - Betazoid/Human
Data - Android
Worf - Klingon
Kira Nerys - Bajoran
Jadzia / Ezri Dax - Trill Symbiont/Host
Julian Bashir - Genetically engineered human
Odo - Changeling
Quark - Ferengi
B'Elanna Torres - Klingon/Human
Neelix - Talaxian
The Doctor - Hologram
Tuvok - Vulcan
Seven of Nine - Borg (Human)
We know little about the sexuality of the non-human species except that
they're generally compatible with humans. Data and The Doctor are the same
as Worf or Odo - an alien raised by humans, trying to fit in. Bashir was
designed, so his parents could easily have tweaked his sexuality (or not, we
don't know, but he's not "normal").
