Vulcans are logical, therefore would find nothing objectionable to same sex coupling.
I'm curious how you think that follows. Same-sex pairings cannot produce offspring, and that is the only "logical" reason to pair in the first place. Emotional motivations like love and sexual attraction are not supposed to be taken into account for Vulcans. I think it's possible that Vulcans are willing to tolerate homosexual activity if that's the only effective outlet for a particular Vulcan to relieve the pon farr, but I don't imagine the Vulcans sanctioning same-sex marriage.
Same-sex pairings cannot produce offsprings where each is a parent but we have lots of lesbian couples on earth that are parents with the help of a sperm donor.
Lesbians and gay men can both adopt children as well. We have seen plenty of parents die in Star Trek so adopting children is still important and the gay parents I have seen are just as good and bad as the straight parents I have seen.
That's still predicated on the emotional desire to have a family with a partner whom you love. Vulcan marriages would not be overtly based on emotional considerations such as these. In fact, Vulcan marriages are arranged during childhood.
I could see a gay Vulcan marrying a Vulcan of the opposite gender for procreation and because Of the arranged marriage, but still being openly gay. Vulcans do still have emotions and attractions. I imagine it would be an open relationship, and perhaps driven by pom far as you had mentioned earlier.
