The Buddha did not give any teachings regarding homosexuality, so there is no strict policy to adhere to. In this case, it is up to the personal views of the Buddhist - some may find homosexuality distasteful or wrong, and others may see it as acceptable.
Buddhists are poeple, just like whoever you consider your people to be. Same biases. Same stupidity. Human beings are human beings, no matter what they would have others to believe they believe in.
Desires for all types of sexual relation or pleasure are evil. But they are still not abnormal. The desire for homosexuality and lesbianism is evil as well as abnormal. Such a kind of sexual relation or desire was described by the Buddha as a wrong practice, which can lead to the destruction of the human world. This is because this desire occurs due to ultra-passion. But it can be cured by practicing meditation on such loathsome and disgusting matter.
Buddhism generally rejects homosexuality. In fact, most branches reject the pursuit of sexual pleasure, and do not acknowledge its bonding role in relationships other than for reproduction. However, Buddhism is a large umbrella of beliefs, and there is a lot of variation within it.
Buddhism is not big on accepting or rejecting people. Partly this due to the fact that there is no overall authority for all things Buddhist (no god, Bible or Pope), partly that over countless lifetimes you are expected to find your own way to enlightenment and partly that in the countless reincarnations that people undergo there is a high probability that one will find himself (or herself) in almost any format or inclination open to humans. Thus you may be male and heterosexual this time around, female and transsexual next time.The Dalai Lama spoke on this topic saying that no matter what your inclination there is a general caution about lust and desire still noted in the Eightfold Path. This is appropriate for all people to consider.

HH the Dalai Lama made it very clear that he has no issue with homosexuality and civil partnerships. Unlike other religion the buddhist outlook is that you both love each other and follow the correct precepts of life.
I don't think Buddhists like pollution at all. They believe in being good stewards to the earth and by polluting it, we aren't really doing our job properly.
The overwhelming majority of Jews accept homosexuality and support same-sex marriage. In fact, all branches of Judaism, except the Orthodox minority, recognize same-sex marriage.
Buddhists feel that each person has the potential to become a Buddha (enlightened). Being a Buddha is not the equivalent of being a god, simply the realization of your true nature.
I have attended meetings addressed by the Dalai Lama. Buddhists seem to invariably treat him with the greatest respect, and hang on his every word. Those who can touch his hand feel blessed.
