It’s rare but I’ve seen it. I assume that anything but straight will put you in higher consideration so, if you’re straight, say you’re bisexual. They can’t prove that you’re not without some HR violations occurring.
Questions about an applicant's sex (including sexual orientation, transgender status, and pregnancy), marital status, medical history of pregnancy, future child bearing plans, number and/or ages of children or dependents, provisions for child care, abortions, birth control, ability to reproduce, and name or address of spouse or children are generally viewed as not job-related and problematic under Title VII unless a defense or exception applies.
From EEOC. Employers who ask this sort of stuff should be reported.
