I think you're being a bit too stereotypical.
Not all straight captains talk about women, and no doubt not all gay captains talk about men. There are many topics of conversation on the flight decks I've frequented. And as a captain, I've not found conversation stilted with any individual because of their sexual orientation, ever.
