Ya know who I think would be surprisingly open to same sex relationships? The Vesk. I imagine the pressures of battle drives together many comrades into a love relationship. In fact, I bet at least quite a few are far less worried about their partners sex as they are about how good they are at fighting.
While I bet there are problematic examples of it out there, I love the gay warrior couple trope. The couple from the Commander 2016 set of Magic: The Gathering was wonderful. I really liked the warrior couples (all men) connected by chains in the Pathfinder campaign setting. Not to mention the real life examples, including the recently discovered letters from a separated gay couple in World War 2.
In this setting, I imagine it would be just as easy for a straight Vesk couple to start under the pressures of war. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like the Vesk would be pretty equitable about genders and warfare.
