I have nothing against gay people but the game does.
Why else would those traits give ' -2 authority etc. ' in skill?

The preponderance of pre-puberty sex-starved boys.

Alexander the Great had a lifelong male companion. Mark Antony ed anything that moved, male or female. If anything same-sex attraction seems to correllate with great military skills, historically speaking.

You are mistaken.

There is no link between sexuality and military skills.

But hell, Mark Antony didn't really possess "great" skills, reasonable ones perhaps, but his successes were because he was in the Roman Army which was one of the finest armies of the ancient world and I'll give you a clue, it wasn't because they were well lead...because frequently they weren't.
Rather the Roman army was great because of their organisational structure, continuity military operation, equipment and their training and discipline. Although such a definition is by its nature an over-generalisation.

Alexander the Great was likewise gifted with an army that was better equipped and better disciplined than his foes, but that wasn't his doing, it was his father's (Phillip) so a great portion of his so-called greatness is because he had a legacy of well-drilled, well-trained and well-equipped soldiers. Perhaps the finest of their time.
But even then, his main victories were over the Greeks and later the Persians.The Greek armies of the time were ridiculously inflexible with almost strictly phalanx-style armies and no real chain of command or concept of complex strategies or manoeuvres.
The Persian army was much worse, vast but poorly trained, poorly organised and poorly disciplined (not to mention it was so disparate and drawn from so many areas that in many situations different corps couldn't even communicate with each other) it was easy pickings for a Western-style army to defeat, Marathon and Plataea (and the so-callled 'Gallant 10,000') proved the Persians were no match for even the Greek Hoplite so it is no surprise the superior Macedonian Phalanx (coupled with the companion cavalry and shield bearers as well as light missile support) easily beat them.
Really, Alexander was a good general, but far from deserving of the vast amount of credit he gets. His main strengths were derived from the fact he was extremely aggressive, confidant and was willing to risk his own life to close with the enemy at the forefront of his men.

I could easily offer counter examples of great heterosexual conquerers and commanders, but hey, that's most of them so it shouldn't really be necessary.

All that aside, in Roman and Greek times homosexuality was less frowned upon. In the Christian Middle Ages being a homosexual could get you killed and even the suspiscion of it was a dangerous thing.

Thus, and here's the important part, for a general to be gay in ME2TW (or to have behaviour to suggest he might be) means that his men would respect him less and thus he'd be less able to command them.

It's a well known fact that medieval gay knights always wore the trendiest armour, threw the coolest jousts, and had the best looking squires - they are also rumoured to have had the most impressive lances as well!

Ah! To have been a queen in those days ... pass the fruit cake my darling rainbow warrior!
