Male homosexuality is forbidden in Talmudism, or more specifically,
adult male homosexuality is forbidden in Talmudism. Collecting
firewood on the Sabbath is punishable by stoning, but sodomising
very young boys, is not an offence in the Talmud.
As for female homosexuality, the Talmud has just one rule:
"Women who practise lewdness with one another
are disqualified from marrying a priest."
"Women that commit lewdness with one another are unfit for the priesthood.
(Footnote: to marry a High Priest, who must marry none but a virgin
(Lev. XXI, 13), for their lewdness destroys their virginity.)"
Since the destruction of the second temple in 70ad, there has been no
requirement for priests. Although the priest class, the highest caste of
Jews, the Cohens, are still in abundance
