this is largely just because there are few female rulers. if you invert gender norms with game rules before launching a campaign youll see the opposite trend begin to emerge
If one of them has the Intrigue Lifestyle, then they probably have perks in the Seducer tree, which make stuff like this much easier to happen.
If they coded it so people could be asexual (a compeltely modern identity) then yeah its shitty coding causing events to select straight people for gay lovers
Terms such as "asexual" (as well as bi, gay, and so on) are all modern (coined during the modern era) but this doesn't mean people without sexual desire started existing only after the term "asexual" was coined. It's no less historical than any other name.
The second you're found to do it with a guy, you get the sodomite trait, which is inline with contemporary description, even if homosexual and bisexual are more modern terms
Your straight character can have a little gay, as a treat.
I'm rationalizing your scenario with: since the servants have an idea that your character, your character's wife and her lover are having sex together, it has given people enough ammunition to frame you as a sodomite even if you and that guy never directly banged each other.
