I would think that being "gay" doesn't 100% prevent someone from fathering / mothering children.

This. In the past, there was a lot of prominent personalities who were suspected of being gay, but left progeny.

Social pressure to have children, especially if there is a title / wealth / prestige to inherit, would certainly play a role.

Not only social pressure. It’s a fact that some homosexual people do want to procreate.
