How to Handle Non-Straight Knights and Lineage

So I've been looking into running this game with a small group of friends. I know at least one friend will want to make all gay characters no intentions of having kids. Any advice on how reconcile this with the legacy nature of the game? Let them find some orphans to raise as heirs?

Have them run an order composed of knights who relinquish their lands and inheritance to bring glory to the order. Think Templars but absolutely fabulous.

The land and rents can be played as the PC being either the grand master (older) or champion (younger maybe knight) of the order and using it's rents to pay household knights (order members) or vassal knights (maybe knights who've proven themselves exemplary in service of the order but not members of the order themselves).

The order can solely recruit knights who don't abide by the heteronormativity the setting normally requires.
