But first, Richard had no legitimate sons....hence the crown went to John...

But he did have illegitimate ones. Which suggests he wasn't just having woman sex out of duty to perpetuate the monarchy, like Eddie 2 did

Well, it behooves us to leave out the bastards because almost all the monarchs had them...
I have no opinion on Richard’s sexuality in that there was no definitive proof as there was in Edward II’s case. People in those days were pretty quick to mete out justice for known buggery.

And also just because you fathered a bastard and/or a legitimate child doesn’t mean you prefer women...
Case in point: James I and more recently, ex-NJ governor, Jim McGreevy, to name a few.
