As for me, I resolve this problem by not mentioning any sexual orientation unless it's essential to the story. Was there a reason for any of the couples to be gay, except to fill the PC quota? No? Then why bother? If I need couples, and I want to kill four out of five, I make them all straight. Why? Simply so nobody can claim that "Oh woez, he killed the gay couple! Bigot!"
Ah, but then people will just complain you don't have any gay people in your story.
