The Talmud doesn't address the issue explicitly, but it does explicitly forbid sexual intercourse between two males (Talmud, Sanhedrin 53a), based on the Torah (Leviticus 18:22).In speaking of marriage, the Talmud (Yevamot 62b) endorses the paradigm of male-female marriage, based on the Torah (Genesis 2:22-24).
