Poseidon's first and primary wife in Greek mythology is Amphitrite, a sea goddess, daughter of Nereus and Doris, and the mother of Triton, solidifying his rule as King of the Sea. Although Poseidon had many affairs, Amphitrite remained his consort and queen.
Poseidon was married to Amphitrite, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and they had a few children, most notably Triton, but like his brother Zeus, Poseidon had a tendency to pursue extramarital affairs.
Apollo, the god of sun and music, is considered the patron of same sex love, as he had many male lovers and was often invoked to bless homosexual unions. He is also called "the champion of male love" by Andrew Callimach.
In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite (/æmfɪˈtraɪtiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιτρίτη, romanized: Amphitrítē) was the goddess of the sea, the queen of the sea, and her consort is Poseidon.
Poseidon chose Amphitrite from among her sisters as the Nereids performed a dance on the isle of Naxos. Refusing his offer of marriage, she fled to Atlas, from whom she was retrieved by a dolphin sent by Poseidon. Amphitrite then returned, becoming Poseidon's wife; he rewarded the dolphin by making it a constellation.
Poseidon fell in love with her at first sight, but Amphitrite fled from him to the Atlas mountains. Poseidon sent his messenger, the dolphin god Delphin, to find her. Delphin not only found her but also persuaded Amphitrite to agree to the marriage.
In Greek and Roman mythology, several goddesses are distinguished by their perpetual virginity. These goddesses included the Greek deities Hestia, Athena, and Artemis, along with their Roman equivalents, Vesta, Minerva, and Diana.
Some estimates put the count at well over a hundred, with the lovers being mostly but not exclusively female. In some cases, ancient authorities differ, so the exact lineage and relationships remain open to debate.
Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty and Love. Children: Aphrodite had no children with her husband Hephaestus, but did have children with her lover Ares, including Eros, the Erotes (the gods of love) and Phobos (the god of terror).
Amphitrite is seen talking strategy with her husband in the throne room of their ocean-floor palace, along with their son. Her stepson, Percy Jackson, joins them, but she treats him coldly and swims away when Poseidon tried to present her to his son. She left the meeting to return to the battle along with other gods.

Apollo: The God of Bisexuality.
Many people interpret Artemis to be either lesbian or asexual and for the larger pop mythology community it's no longer interpretation. Artemis is the queer goddess.
Since Medusa was the only one of the three Gorgons who was mortal, Perseus was able to slay her; he did so while looking at the reflection from the mirrored shield he received from Athena. During that time, Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon.
Poseidon claims Percy is his favorite son but he has at least two other good ones that have been just as Great: Thesus- Great King of Athens who slayed the minotaur (Posiedon's mistake) and did a bunch of other Heroic stuff.
That Poseidon and Athena were married sounds like a modern addition by some random author. I would not know of any ancient sources that shows them as married or even lovers - usually they were at odds with each other.
Bruce Lincoln argues that the myth is a description of the loss of Persephone's virginity, where her epithet koure signifies "a girl of initiatory age", and where Hades is the male oppressor forcing himself onto a young girl for the first time.
Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. He was disliked by both parents. He is the god of war. He is considered murderous and bloodstained but, also a coward.

Homosexual relationships among the gods are pretty common within Greek mythology. Such relationships show the gods in the context of their superhuman powers and immortality, far from any moral or societal judgment.

Rick Riordan said if two demigods have a child, the child would be mortal. This makes no sense when you consider the fact that if two 1/2 black 1/2 white people have a child, the child would most likely also be 1/2 black 1/2 white.
Apollo is the model of Greek male excellence in physical, intellectual and ethical terms. This model of masculine perfection was compatible with a sexuality beyond the limits of heterosexuality. Apollo, like other gods such as Zeus, had both male and female lovers in myth.
Vestals who allowed the sacred fire to go out were punished with whipping. Vestals who lost their chastity were guilty of incestum and were sentenced to living burial, a bloodless death that must seem voluntary. Their sexual partners, if known, were publicly beaten to death.
