A character's sexual orientation has no bearing on how well they perform their role. Providing that type of information may not be necessary to tell the story, but having that information available does offer greater verisimilitude and allows me to provide a richer environment for my players. Sure, Paizo doesn't have to include this info (or any background info, for that matter) but I'm horrible at coming up with this kind of small-detailed information, and I'd much rather pay Paizo to do it.

Keep up the good work, Paizo!

As a point I have always made my PCs "Non-hetero" since this does have some gameplay benefits. As in my male PC will not be the sucker for the "maiden in distress" tricks or the flirtatious princess/bar wench routine. Heck it even saved me once from the charms of a female vampire and a sorceress......lol. I myself am glad that Paizo and other gaming companies have include said snipets... after all in this fantasy world there are a multitude of cultures and customs.

So, I have a question. What does everyone want to see in the Bestiary that Emily mentioned? I'd like to see an aquatic variant of the vampire templates. Also, does anyone know if the master benefits for the aquatic familiars from the Cerulean Seas book were ever given?

As far as a bestiary would love see a good collection of adversaries from each section of the Campaign World, as well as a few extra playable classic PC races of traditional D&D Aquatic Monster races (example Ixitxachitl). Perhaps even a Jellyfish race similar to the Flumph? Dolphin Race perhaps?

As far as creatures, curious about undersea snakes, land creatures that survived and adapted from the great floods, starfish monsters, possible underwater Aliens aka unidentified submersible objects, kelp creatures, and inner planar and outer planar creatures.
