I devise the sexual orientation of all my characters when I'm creating them, but it's not something that needs to come up (and that's probably the way it should be in PFS). Protected speech and stuff doesn't necessarily spread to places such as forums or game stores where you're bound by Terms of Service.

In home games, it's one thing to bring it up. I've spoken with people who have had entire campaigns that have carnal themes. In a public space that is essentially PG-13, it's probably not a good idea. I understand what Lady-J is saying with the double-standards with sexual and violent content, but that's just where society is. I don't agree with it, but I don't really think we need to start a revolution on Paizo's boards to fix it. :p

As other people have said, CN is not Lol Random. A few of my characters are CN, but that doesn't mean they're loners. No matter the alignment, people have goals. I often play CN characters as capricious and impulsive, but not stupid. They have some modicum of self discipline and don't have to go with every thought that comes into their head.

SheepishEidolon's post seems like a good place to start, and BretI's suggestion about linked backgrounds is also good. Maybe your character's there because he thinks the poor idiots can't survive without him (and he feels superior by comparison), or maybe he drags the party into plots he thinks will benefit him (and probably his companions), and the party feels like they have to protect him from his own ego.
