I realize that GLB people can remain celibate while in Egypt and they are likely to be fine. The fact that they may be safer pretending to be something they are not is a bit disconcerting, but that is not my primary concern.
Celibacy isn't required, they just need to avoid overt "public displays of affection". (And it might be wise to avoid requesting a double hotel room...)
Double rooms should not be a problem if that means two beds.
A double room has one bed, a twin room has two.

People keep mentioning gay travellers; someone even said to shut up and not flaunt it and the gays will be fine. Besides that being very, very, very offensive... (ask any gay person what their feelings are when someone says they are "flaunting" their orientation, it is an offensive suggestion)
What you forget is that many people find any flaunting of sexuality offensive. This includes to heterosexual flaunting.
I'm not talking about flaunting sexuality. I'd like GLB Wikimedians to be free to attend the conference with their partner (double room and all) without worry.
