Iravias is asexual and heteroromantic.
Irhtos is an incomprehensible eldritch spirit at this point, and as such is open to any and all pronouns (though they're typically referred to as male). He doesn't f*ck, for... obvious reasons.
For the most part, everyone else is attracted to women (given that I myself don't really like guys, and... y'know, it's a little harder to write that without some shared feelings). Be that in a heterosexual manner or otherwise... girls :D

Is it just me, but I’ve only met a couple of people who are truly bi. Nearly all my bi friends (and acquaintances) tend to date people of all genders but almost always prefer one (myself including, I’m technically bi but prefer girls). Just me?

I agree with you. I prefer guys and have only had a couple crushes on girls. But I would be open to the idea of dating a girl if I were single.

But this is getting kind of far afield of this thread’s topic: LGBTQ in D&D.
Indeed. In general, I feel that, in a world of magic, paladins, anthropomorphic animal people, and giant floating eyeball monsters, the idea of prejudice based on love, attraction, and identity seems... well, really dumb? Then again, Earth is pretty advanced (and would honestly seem quite fantastical to most fantasy world inhabitants), and it suffers from a lot of discrimination. So... it would definitely be up to you as to how queer folks are treated in your world. But, their existence seems pretty undeniable.
Even when it comes to, say, royalty- where a gay noble could result in the end of a line... mates, magic exists. The idea that some wizard can devise a way for a gay couple to have a genetically spliced kid or a clone or just... get pregnant (in the case of a lesbian couple) is nothing in comparison to the brain-eating squid people that fly through fantasy space in crustacean-shaped spaceships.
It is, after all, a fantasy game, and I feel that you should be able to do whatever the Hells you want- especially when it comes to queerness.

Yeah, I feel like the one of reasons people play D&D is to get away from the problems in real life. I would never include prejudice based on sexuality, gender, or skin color in any of my games.

I agree with you and TTB. Prejudice against LGBTQ people (or really people of any gender or sexuality) is a nonissue on my worlds. The closest thing to that in my multiverse is that paladins of certain deities on Faerun were required to be celibate until they got married (they could marry anyone of any race gender or sexuality). But the gods did away with this require-ment about five years ago in game time (DR 1488).

In my settings, there's definitely places that are absolute matriarchies and patriarchies, who simply don't grant the same rights to one gender as they do another. But I don't depict those places very positively, i.e. are things built for PCs to change for the better if they so wish. In places where abundant magic isn't available, same-sex relationships is definitely frowned upon if an heir is needed to succeed a royal line or some kinda business.
Generally though people find plenty of other reasons to hate each other in-setting. Cultural, ancestral, national, economic, states of existence (undead, fiend, etc.), that kinda thing. Of course, I check with my players to see what they're okay or not okay with dealing with themes wise.

True. I mean the Udadrow of Menzoberranzan are depicted in canon as a matriarchy and are not really very nice to guys, so they’re the same way in my version of Out of the Abyss. But they are definitely the exception, not the rule.

I haven't been caught up on FR lore since 4e so I'm woefully out of date, but isn't the Udadrow said to be the most common type of drow? With only the Lorendrow and Avendrow being tiny offshoots. Not that it really matters since I usually run Eberron, but I never got caught up on whatever weird retcon they did with drow.
