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.

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.
