My suggestions as a someone who has identified as such? Continue as you are. Just as you're not attracted to everyone you see or work with, neither are the students. The only reason why anyone would know that I'm bisexual is because they've been. It's not readily apparent by looking at me. (Besides, as I like both men and women, how do you segregate that?)

Since you can't inherently tell what someone's sexuality is by looking at them, and not everyone is out, there's no telling if you're actually misplacing a student if you assign rooms according to sexual preference. If it becomes an issue, deal with it on a case by case basis.*


* I have a hard time seeing this become a big problem. If it does, my suggestion is either have them room with their parents (if possible) or give them their own room.
