I suspect that same-sex relationships must be just as exogamous as heterosexual ones. Fear of inbreeding is often cited as the reason for the taboos against sexual relationships with blood relatives in the real world. I've not heard anybody suggest that it would be less frowned upon if it was a same-sex relationship, and I'm sure Heortlings are just the same as regards exogamy.
