Best Answer

The Orthodox Church does not divide persons into gay or straight, so neither is a qualification for god-parenting. More pertinent distinctions in the Orthodox Church would be: practicing and non-practicing Orthodox; chaste and unchaste lifestyle; in good standing within the community or lapsed. Consequently, there would be no objection to any person, gay-straight-or otherwise, who is practicing the Orthodox faith, leads a chaste life-style, and is in good standing in her/his local Orthodox community.
