in the Vinaya, the Buddha states that those who...practice homosexual traits may not become a monk.
actually, this is not the case. there are many ex-homosexuals that are monks & nuns in current Buddhism
only 'pandaka' (hermaphrodites and eunuchs) are prohibited from ordaining
the Vinaya is here. open PDF & search for 'homos'
