That's fine with me. I don't really care what the sexual persuasion of anyone is and what things they initiate. Heck, I don't care if I have a gay roommate. My son had one, and it was not a big problem for him. What problems occurred came from some other kids who were straight and had some issues.

My problem is when you have two sexually charged individuals that are sharing the room. You are talking about years of nature working. I would not want to share the room with a gay woman if I were gay, so it's not about just being the opposite sex here. There is too much of a power keg that exists and you are putting your head in the sand if you are denying the situation exists. Sure, it happens anyways, but you are increasing the odds by an awful lot. Also you are permitting cohabitation in dorm rooms which in itself is a problem as I pointed out. Kids don't always have good break ups, and when there is sex involved things can really escalate. This just opens doors that can really complicate issues. If I were at a university, I just would not want to increase these risks. If two members of the opposite sex what to share a room, let them get one off campus. There are enough roommate headaches already, with opening a door that lets in a flood of more.
