It just wouldn't be done. They would go about that aspect of their life in intense privacy and appoint a brother/nephew/uncle/cousin/brother-in-law/etc. as next heir if its laws were bound by male primogeniture. Sultan Qaboos of Oman was rumoured to be a homosexual, and was recently succeeded by his first cousin. Monarchy in most contexts depends on stable tradition.
Concerning adoption in any circumstance, they're neither in the line of succession, nor can inherit any titles. They're not considered heirs of the 'body' in this traditional aspect, regardless of newer laws for ordinary people.
Concerning the title of any potential spouse, a heterosexual example he had with Prince Phillip, who was prince-consort, since a king outranks a queen. A spouse cannot outrank or be the same rank as their partner. In a homosexual relationship, this just wouldn't happen, they'd not be granted a title since the household wouldn't recognise it.
