Can gay people serve as deacons in the catholic church?
Catholic AnswerDeacon, along with priest and bishop, is the first of the three orders of ordained major clergy in the Catholic Church. Every recent pope, most especially Blessed John Paul II, and Benedict XVI have issued directives that no gay man may be ordained to any of the Church's ministries. Now, it is to be understood, that this does not mean that someone with homosexual inclinations can not be ordained, you asked about "gay" and "gay" means someone who actively approves of the "gay" lifestyle, which means accepts homosexual inclinations as normal and acts on them. Homosexual inclinations are intrinsically disordered, and no one who approves and/or follows them is permitted in the ordained ministry.

Can Episcopal clergy marry?
Sure a bishop can marry. See for yourself at 1 Timothy 3:2. However, he should be a husband of one wife. In the Roman Catholic Church Bishops are taken from the priests and conscecrated. The current ruling in the Catholic Church is that Bishops may not be married. There have been at different times in the Church men ordained to the priesthood who have been married - currently we have ordained priests from the Episcopal church who are married. But in the Latin rite and in other rites, such as the Maronites, these married priests are never considering for the bishopric. All men when ordained to any major order in the church take a vow of celibacy which means that if ordained as a deacon and their wife dies, they may not remarry. So, there may be married priests or deacons, but not bishops; and no ordained clergy could ever get married. As the first contributer above pointed out, there were married Bishops in the first century, but Bishops could not get married
