Teams are important, but there is no disadvantage in roleplaying a
homosexual on most muds?  Given a fairly large player base you will be
able to find other people that are sufficiently openminded and you'll
team up with them, forming a strong group.  In a world with little
loyalty minorities with a strong introvert commitment can become quite
powerfull.

(And bisexuality is obviously an advantage for a person... Wish I
was.)
