She's not involved in any relationships in-game, and it would take a lot of development to push her towards one. Canonically she can be interpreted to have a crush on the Hound, and she lives in a society where women, especially women of Sansa's social class, are raised expecting to be heterosexual because they exist only for breeding.
Why is it a surprise? Granted the books have no lesbian relationships as far as I'm aware, but there's been a handful of f/f sex scenes or references to thereof. But there is a canon gay relationship (Renly/Loras), as well as references to a number of non-hetero characters (Xaro comes to mind).
But mostly it comes down to I just prefer Sansa in same-sex relationships, I think she reads as queer, and I'm more interested in exploring that than I am with yet another heterosexual pairing, especially in a series such as ASOIAF where the patriarchy is so openly and violently oppressive of women.
Would it ever happen in a game with her? Probably not. She's thirteen, severely mentally and emotionally traumatized, a victim of sexual abuse, and in dire need of simple friendship.
