nayrt but the queerness is accepted and promoted by the futuristic society. The society struggles with how to control people who each have the capability to destroy entire civilizations with their psychic powers, so basically people are socialized to be "loving" and intimate, instead of violent and aggressive. The anime doesn't really go into this, but the novel says that same-sex relationships are very common among youth, because being a very controlled society, accidental pregnancies are not permitted so men and women aren't allowed to have penetrative sex before marriage and getting licenses to have children. It's not that heterosexuality is forbidden, it's just that childbirth is heavily controlled.

So it's absolutely not supernatural queerness, it's socialized queerness (a socialization that was deliberately engineered).

So basically, fool around with the same sex but when it comes time to grow up and settle down and get serious, it's all about heterosexual relationships and childbearing?

I don't recall anyone being required to get married and have kids. It's more or less the opposite, that the society is terrified of children. It's not an obligation to pop out babies, it's a restricted privilege. The series doesn't really feature adult couples at all, besides some of the characters' parents.

Frankly that's how I read it.
