Homosexuality in Buddhism -- As homosexuality is not explicitly mentioned in any of the Buddha''s discourses, we can only assume that it is meant to be evaluated in the same way that heterosexuality is. And indeed it seems that this is why it is not specifically mentioned.

And it is the same when the two people are of the same gender.
