Is Homosexuality Consistent with Hindu Teachings?A: No, it is not.

Hinduism teaches and expects its followers to observe a moral code of conduct. Because marriage is a union between a man and a woman as spouses, as recognized by the social system of the time.

1) It is not validated by the Vedas. Marriage is a sacred relationship that cannot be redefined according to our convenience. Any definition of marriage in Hinduism need to be validated by the Vedas, which are considered the verbal testimony since they are an eternal aspect of God and represent the highest truth. The Vedas recognize the marriage between a man and a woman only. Such a marriage may happen either with (daiva) or without consent (asura), but the relationship is always between a man and woman, never between people of the same-sex. Even the Asuras (demons), who break all the rules, do not participate in same-sex relationships. According to the Vedas, a marriage is a sacred bond between two individual souls, born on earth as a male and a female to participate in God's creations as His aspects and instruments. Together, they participate in the preservation and continuation of the world and world order. Their births and coming together happens because of their past karmas and their relationship may last for not one but several lifetimes. 

2) It is not conducive to rebirth. A soul has no sexuality, but it is bound to the laws of Nature. Unlike in Christianity and Islam, according to Hindu scriptures, a soul, usually called the individual Self, is devoid of qualities, parts, gender, identity and sexuality. In other words, it has no fixed personality of its own. It is pure consciousness which assumes a name and form according to its past karma. However, for cleansing its past karma, every soul needs to take birth upon earth in a good family and in favorable conditions. Same-sex marriages do not facilitate rebirth, nor the reentry of ancestors from the ancestral world. Hence, spiritually they are not the same as normal marriages between a man and a woman.

3) It conflicts with the chief aims of human life. Hinduism recognizes four chief aims of human life (Purusharthas), namely dharma (duty), artha (wealth), kama (pleasures) and moksha (liberation). Vatsayana states that man should practice these aims at different periods in his lifetime in such a manner that they harmonize rather than clash.

For example he should study dharma (Vedas) as a student in childhood, pursue artha as a youth and kama in the middle age. With regard to importance, dharma is first, then artha, followed by kama. when these are pursued rightfully, then it leads to liberation (moksha), the fourth aim. In other words, pursuit of artha and kama should be according to the precepts of Dharma and not otherwise. Thus in Hinduism, there is no rightful place for sexual enjoyment arising from homosexual acts, since they are not conducive to the four chief aims of human life, and especially liberation (moksha).

Is Homosexuality Consistent with Buddhist Teachings?

A: No, it is not.

Buddhism teaches and expects its followers to observe a moral code of conduct. Because marriage is a union between a man and a woman as spouses, as recognized by the social system of the time.

In the Yogacara, Volume 59 Cloud: “(Evil includes) All men and non-men, they should not do it if they belong to them. Except for the production line, all remaining points are named non-branches.…...If so, they all desire evil and commit crimes.”

For lay Buddhists, the minimum requirement is to abide by the "Five Precepts", the third precept relates to sexual behavior. Homosexuality and same-sex sexual behavior violates the third precept (the precept against sexual immorality).

Sexual behavior between same-sex is clearly prohibited in Buddhism. Homosexuality is strictly prohibited from becoming a monk, and those who have become monks are expelled. See "Four-Part Law"

Pañcaśīla (five precepts) is the most important system of morality for Buddhist lay people. They constitute the basic code of ethics to be respected by lay followers of Buddhism.
