It's of note that the Dalai Lama said that homosexuality "is generally considered sexual misconduct" for Buddhists. http://www.quietmountain.org/links/teachings/gayrites.htm http://www.quietmountain.org/links/teachings/gayrites.htm Something that complicates this discussion is that there are many varied forms of Buddhism, sometimes saying seemingly contradictory things. While it's important to be able to use the term "Buddhism" for the sake of conversation, we have to be careful of our scope in making claims. To place this in perhaps more culturally familiar terms for Americans: the Hinayana (even this term is controversial) vs Mahayana branches are as different as Catholics and Protestants, with the Mahayana schools being basically as diverse as Protestantism.
