Although, Hinduism doesn't accept homosexuality morally or in any written form, Hinduism neither strongly condemns it. We can find existance of Homosexulaity in some Hindu dominating countires and places. Like, Hijara in India. They are freely living and carring out their activities in most of the Indian cities. Hijaras are definately gay. However, Indians don't consider those who penitrate hijaras a gay and they are not ready to accept the fact that this is not a homosexual act. Homosexuality is still a Taboo to Hindu society.
Lesbian scenes in recent Bollywood movies and we watching it without any comments is another example of us being liberal towards Homosexuality.
Shikhandi was not the only eunuch in Mahabharat. Even Arjun became a eunuch for a year during Pandav's hideout after 13 years of exile. Arjuna who had learnt the act of dance and music from Chitrasen at Indralok, was cursed by Urbashi to remain a eunuch for a year. So he found it convinient to become a dance and music teacher for princess Uttara in the Kingdom of Birat. This story proves that Hinduism has been familier with homosexuality from ancient period.
However, Hinduism doesn't allow religious marriage of two individual of same sex.
