And they did.

In one story a man goes to visit Freyr for a few weeks but leaves after only a few days because Freyr’s house is filled with gay men which makes the guy super uncomfortable, so it’s absolutely a valid interpretation that Freyr is god of queer men and bisexual himself, considering that he falls head over heels in love with the jotun woman Gerd.

Odin is said to be Tyr’s father in one text, but in another text its Hymer. Neither Odin’s wife Frigg or Hymer’s wife Hrodr are said to me his mother. When Loki is accused of being slutty and sleeping with a bunch of men in one story, Loki says Odin used to do that too. Jotun men can get pregnant, and if you put all that together you can absolutely make a case for Tyr having the manliest family tree ever.

In Lokasenna Tyr and Freyr appears to be close, and you can see why.
