more hints at Lightning being gay?
During the dicussion you have with the NPC that gives you the soul seeds quest in Luxerion, there was an interesting little exchange between Lightning and the the quest giver.

(parapharsing because I didn't have a save anywhere near this and couldn't easily go back and re-watch the discussion)
quest giver: Or did your man leave you and now you want to go take your anger out on some monsters?
Lightning: Look, I don't know you and you CLEARLY don't know me.

discuss ;3c

Source: FinalFantasy Wikia (left out most spoilers) but to be safe don't read further if you're not finished with Lightning Returns and/or don't want any spoilers!!!!!

-SPOILER-

Claire Farron's Personality:
----------------------------------------

Lightning is determined, concentrated and independent. Initially, she is cold and standoffish, distancing herself from her companions. She only looks out for herself and doesn't care if others are left behind. She resents Bhunivelze for robbing her of her emotions and his use of her situation to his advantage.

As her quest advances, Lightning begins to show compassion toward others because of her assigned task to save their souls. Straying from her cold-hearted personality, she begins to encourage those struggling implying Lightning unconsciously had given up her emotions, rather than Bhunivelze taking them with force.

By the end of her quest, Lightning has come around from her self-imposed tough and emotionless warrior persona, along with all her experiences she realizes that locking her heart away is how she threw away her happiness.

-SPOILER END-

...so probably a no.. It's just how she reacts and gives a cold answer to the people who think that she cares for anyone else at all.. at the beginning of the game

I think you're reaching in this case. She probably was referring to the fact she's not interested in relationships period.

LIGHTNING LOVES FANG!

A) She's absolutely devoid of any emotions in LR, which would make even caring about relationships meaningless

B) It's sort of implied via the novella that she somewhat ends up with Hope (though 90% of that is fan speculation).

If this is the case someone definitely didn't tell her voice actor this, I just saw the scene where Lumina appears as Serah for a moment and she certainly didn't act devoid of emotion there. I think it's more that her and Hope's emotions of the past have been stripped from them, but they're not completely empty husks. If they had absolutely no emotions, they wouldn't care about saving people at all and that wouldn't work with God's plan.

Most of her dialogue is emotionless (it actually reminds me A LOT of the protagonist of Two Worlds 2, which bothered me for a while when I was playing). She didn't feel something as in desperation, affection or anything of the sort. She was surprised and wanted more answers, so she called out to Lumina. Her range of emotions in LR is a tricky subject, especially cos (at least in the localization) they state she has no emotions at all.

As for the OP, no. She might as well be asexual for all we care, cos it doesn't affect her as a character. And while most people see Vanille and Fang as a couple (cos that's how our society perceives such a close relationship between whoever it is), they might just be VERY close. Something most people forget about those two is that Gran Pulse had a completely different social structure than Cocoon, the latter being an approximation of our own society.

I agree!

Considering that I can't recall a single time she's ever expressed anything resembling romantic interest, I think it's far more likely she's asexual than a lesbian.

However, Motomu Toriyama, the game director for the XIII series, has explicitly said that he crafted Lightning to be his perfect woman. That fact combined with him being male suggests that he probably designed her to be straight.
