Yes, it is healthy. It used to be classed as a mental disease, but 20 years ago US psychiatrists decided it was quite normal for some people.

If you mean is the lifestyle healthy, well, that depends on the liver. Gay people had a reputation in the past of being free with their affections. Since AIDS came on the scene in the early 1980s gay people have been much more careful, using condomswhenever they had sex.

Anyone's lifestyle can be healthy or not healthy. One may decide to smoke tobacco. Another may decide to take drugs. Another may decide to have unprotected sex. Each person's lifestyle is different.

Actually as a point of fact, the DSM II manual was changed in '72 to reflect that homosexuality was not a disease or a disorder. The only 'danger' in living a healthy homosexual life, is how you view yourself around others. If your self-esteem is lowered because you feel guilty, dirty or wrong about 'forbidden love', you typically will take dangerous chances that will put you in 'at risk' situations. More education, role models and the loss of ignorance is advancing us day by day. Knowledge is power.
