I mean as it stands now, all being gay does is reduce your fertility and your opinion. But just as a hetero king frequently goes and saucies himself with a pretty young thing at court, I think events should fire regarding other homosexual characters, whether they be courtiers or other nobles.
Like what if you become the lover of another noble, then that should also be the equivalent of marriage in an alliance, BUT, if it is found out, you would get an instant revolt on your hands, as its one thing to be a quiet "confirmed bachelor" its another thing to endanger your realm by living in sin.
Thus if you're not gay your spymaster would have incentive to be sent out to form a spy network whenever "unusual" alliances are discovered that aren't marriage related, and likewise if you're a gay lord, you have to always keep your spymaster at home fending off other spies trying to find this secret out. And maybe make the penalty for being blackmailed as gay far worse, like cause for excommunication and invasion.
This creating a roleplayed penalty and bonus for being gay. Because lets be honest here, being outed as gay back in medieval times should be regarded as a destructive event.
