Some issues come up again and again because they're part of a general's arc. One General's arc is about women's rights and the exploitation of women. Another arc is about being a team player versus relying on yourself, etc. Another arc is about racism. Those issues also come up just as much as gay rights - maybe not for each player, that's the beauty of the randomized playthroughs. On my first playthrough, I did all of Catherine's arc, but no one else's.
