That refers to people's likes and dislikes, not their sexes. In certain cases people seem to be attracted to each other through their differences more than anything and the other rule "likes attracts likes" will not work for them.
I suppose you could stretch it somewhat and bring it to a gender level only where "likes attracts likes" phrase would apply to homosexual couples and "opposites attract" would apply to heterosexual relationships. You have to make it very clear, though, that this is what you are talking about.
