RE: To which “god” is he referring?

In Ancient Greece, the Twins Castor and Pollux, were the gods of Homosexuality.

a mortal named Leda was seduced by Zeus who came to her in the form of a swan. Leda gave birth to an egg from which emerged Castor, Pollux and Helen (yes, eventually of Troy).

The identical brothers were inseparable, and had a deep affection for one another, for which reason they were often worshipped as gods of homosexuality (afterall, they were sons of Zeus).

Helen, a great beauty, was constantly being abducted and in need of rescue, which the brothers were usually successful in accomplishing, however, her beauty was eventually to lead to the Trojan War.

Castor was a skilled horseman, and Pollux was an unconquerable boxer. They took part in the voyage of the Argonauts, and with Orpheus they calmed a storm, for which reason they were also worshipped as the protectors of sailors.

“Castor and Pollux aspired to marry the Leucippides (”daughters of the white horse”), Phoebe and Hilaeira, whose father was a brother of Leucippus (”white horse”).[a] Both women were already betrothed to cousins of the Dioscuri, the twin brothers Lynceus and Idas of Thebes, sons of Tyndareus’s brother Aphareus. Castor and Pollux carried the women off to Sparta wherein each had a son; Phoebe bore Mnesileos to Pollux and Hilaeira bore Anogon to Castor. This began a family feud among the four sons of the brothers Tyndareus and Aphareus.”
