Yes, I agree it's no big deal.
The player (sitting behind the monitor) should be distinguished from the detective (the avatar that exists in Sleuth World).
Sexual orientation aside, a male player can even adopt a female avatar, or vice versa, right? So I see no problem with this at all. When the cut scene says "you're falling in love with this man/woman", simply take it to mean that the detective (eg. Wayne Williams Jr.) is the one falling in love, not the player at the keyboard.
Make sense? This discussion is getting pseudo-philosophical. Welcome to Sleuth Matrix...Is there not a Detective Neo somewhere?

I couldn't agree more.
In fact I myself am a girl in real life, but i chose to have a male character in the game.
So, you might be gay in real life and have a straight character in the game. What's wrong with that?
it's a game, it's not meant to reflect reality.
Let's just have fun and stop putting things under the microscope, ok?

I have no strong opinions about this, but I have sometimes thought it would go with the general anyone-can-be-anyone's-lover attitude of the game if detectives also randomly fell for both sexes - and at other times just randomly became friends. I guess some people would complain about that, though. So you can't win, can you?
And after all this deep discussion, can I just tell you that I found it hilarious when one victim had a daughter who in the pic looked like a 70-year-old grandmother and a mother who appeared to be in her twenties.
I really like the new diversity of the pics, though.

Kitten, I'm liking that idea more and more. :) Especially also randomly becoming friends -- we don't all just view people as sex objects rather than friendship objects, even if their gender is our type. :)
I think it's fine to discuss this sort of thing, if it's for the purpose of making a game feel more inclusive, welcoming, and respectful of everybody.
Yes, diversity of pics = great!

You can thank Ulysses Lear for the new pictures. He rounded up most of them.

8 suspects, 3 bloody footprints.
5 suspects with the Shoe Maker. 2 with no alibi. 1 with a true alibi. Everyone terribly happy to clam up, including the shoe maker. Quitting this case seemed like a blessing!
