You're by no means WRONG, OP, but I'd actually say you have a slightly stronger case than this. Cishet Sauron has zero canonical support, whereas queer Sauron (and indeed twink Sauron) has got some non-negligible support. From my copy of the Silmarillion, first we find Sauron "seducing" the king of Numenor and "ensnaring" the great lords.
But there he swiftly rises by his cunning and knowledge...and seduces the king and most of the lords and people with his lies
Yet Sauron was ever guileful, and it is said that among those whom he ensared with the Nine Rings three were great lords of Numenorean race.
Obviously, this is poetical language, and it isn't explicitly saying anything like he slept with them, but it's telling. Sauron is very much framed as the coaxer, the character of pretty words, the seducer of men. This is already interesting because it aligns him with a role that is more traditional thought of as a female role--the femme fatale.
Then on the other hand we have the mention of Morgoth seducing him; again, the usage of "seduction" is presumably not literal but we don't know that it isn't. There is no mention, however, of seduction with respect to female characters in the Silmarillion.
In the beginning of Arda Melkor seduced him to his allegiance
Then there's also the interesting point of his behavior in Eregion. Rapidly digging out my (virtual, hence no page numbers sorry) copy of Unfinished Tales, the way Sauron interacts with Galadriel is noticeably different
He perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavored therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy
No seducing here, sir! No, instead he "used all his arts upon Celebrimbor and his fellow-smiths"
This is not even going into the sheer number of times that Sauron is referred to as "fair" or something commenting on his appearance; I don't have the post to hand but @arofili has a great one that concludes that only Lúthien is remarked on more times than he is.
So...not only is cishet Sauron not canon, there is absolutely nothing to back such a reading with. Which doesn't mean you can't headcanon it; headcanons are free. BUT there is actually substantially more evidence for Sauron as a seductive, attractive figure (occasionally as the seducee), specifically as positioned with respect to male characters and not female ones ("placated her"? really? that's...unusual behavior from you, oh guileful seducer of Ar-Pharazôn). There's nothing there that spells out "ah yes Sauron Is Gay" or anything like that, but there is a pattern that gives more support for a queer Sauron reading than for a straight one.
He's falling hard into some of the villainous queercoding tropes and I for one am here for it.
I'll darn well reclaim my monstrous brethren, thanks.
