Note that I'm asking this with the assumption that Allah doesn't condemn the mere presence of homosexual urges in a person, as long as he or she avoids succumbing to temptation and sodomy. Correct me if I'm in error. I'm also going to ignore the practice of sex change of homosexuals.
Islam has strict rules on interaction between males and females. A man is not allowed to be alone with a woman to whom he isn't married, or be friends with a woman, or see a woman without her hijab, correct? By contrast same-sex interactions are free and unrestricted. The purpose of this is to avoid any risk of zina, but in the context of homosexuality this makes no sense, since a gay man is disgusted by the idea of sex with a woman and lacks any temptation in his heart even if he were alone with her and the woman was tempted.
But when he's with other men, hugging and kissing in the Arab custom, he's probably sometimes very tempted/fitna. Should he disclose his sexuality to his friends so they would treat him as they would a woman, and he lowers his gaze around them and avoids unnecessary interactions with them, and likewise with women, would he allowed to pursue friendships with them? Would a married hijabi be allowed to let her hair down in front of him or be alone with him if her husband knows he is gay and poses zero threat to him sexually and romantically, and is ok with their companionship?
