You are right, criminals are not profiled for gay/straight/bi/neither orientation, but if they could, a neural network would find a correlation between that column and the location of their next crime. Thas one column would not be enough to decide with any certainty at all, however, if you pass in age, sex, weight, orientation, race, skin color, religious affiliation, address, marital status, prior convictions, languages spoken, income, has-vehicle, make/model of car, profession, where they work, smokes, drinks, and hundreds of other spot data points about them, a two layer neural network would be able to pull it all in, and use historical data to train against later data, and use recent data to predict where the crimes are going to occur, and it will be eerily right, gathering information gain from what seems out of thin air.
