Here's how I think the Marauders (and Lily) must've reacted to Remus and Sirius not being straight

As much as I know them, Sirius wouldn't even have known that he wasn't straight till he joined Hogwarts because of the household he grew up in and as for Remus, he would've known all his life but would've never told anyone, just like the fact that he was a werewolf, because he must've feared being labelled as an outcast (for both the things) since it's the old times we're talking about when being an LGBTQ+ member would've been presumed to be as bad as being a werewolf (maybe more?).

Fast forward to the time when all the Marauders know that Remus is a werewolf and my dudes have already done the animagi thing. So, everything must've been going pretty normally when one day Sirius would've been hit with the realization that he was indeed gay. He would've told his best friends in an instant that he "thinks" he's gay. While James would've brushed it off thinking it was another one of his jokes (Peter following suit), Remus would've understood because duh. Sirius wouldn't even have cared about how people would react, he would've gone around saying it, supported by James (who'd still be thinking that it was a joke), while Remus would have been back in the common room (with a clueless Peter) still wishing to have the balls to come out as his friend did.

Then one fine day, Lily would've noticed Remus gawking at Sirius, dozing off in the middle of quills and parchments, for the millionth time and would've finally had the guts to ask him what he was thinking. Remus would've blushed and most likely would have tried to change the topic which would have made Lily more suspicious. Then, as indirectly as possible, (most probably through a story) Lily would've advised him to come out, because it wasn't a bad thing. That's when Remus would've decided to come out, atleast to his friends.

So, when Remus would've been telling the guys and Lily that he wasn't straight, Sirius would have shouted that he always knew and would've questioned if being gay came with a gay sensor, while James would've had a double shock realizing that not only Remus was gay, but so was Sirius and he was never kidding in the first place. And the first question that he would've asked would be that how the fuck did both them not fall for him (earning an eyeroll from Lily) while Peter would've asked if being gay was contagious. So the entire evening would've gone by with Lily and Remus answering questions coming from James, Peter and not very surprisingly, Sirius (since, finally people were taking him siriously, buddy had a lot of doubts).

After that, James would've started shipping his two best friends together, just as a joke (we know where this is going) and again Lily would've been the first one to notice that something was actually going on between Sirius and Remus. She would've pointed it out to James whose first reaction would've been "haha, guess it isn't a joke anymore" (making Lily question why she was falling for a person who took everything as a joke) and then they would've pressurised Sirius and Remus to "grow the balls" and ask each other out.

And that's how wolfstar would've come into existence.

Atleast that's what I think.
