Anyway, it's silly bevause a key thing is that our Powers tend towards gender fluidity -they can appear in appear in all sorts of forma. But in practice, I've only got so much time, and so unless I go through writing dual myth sets and multiple liturgies, what's going to happen is that Deities are closely associated with a gender; it's not really a solution to take a heterosexual myth and rewrite it with all the gender pairings, nor a good use of time.

Because a) Finnish mythology is a mess resisting modern attempts at categorization, and b) Finnish has no gendered pronouns, a lot of Finnish deities/spirits have ambiguous genders, by which I mean they can appear in the surviving song-spell-poems as either male or female. Some might have no gender if the researchers didn't default to male. I'm entirely going to run with this and conceptualize them as male-female pairs OR as single deities that are bigender, agender, or genderfluid as suits my purposes, because it is no less accurate than defaulting to male.

I'm really not sure what I'm doing here, I'm just following my curiosity.

I'm trying to think of male homosexual myth and first off the top of my heath is Apollon and Hyacinthus, yet another story of one of Apollon (the sun's) lovers turning into plants. Loki, who also talks about gods wanting to bed him in Lokasenna, but Norse mythology's relationship to MLM/MSM is not exactly positive.

Hah, and there are male pregnancy myths, which might disturb the whole Beltane energy a bit.
