I don't know enough about canon law (in fact, know very little about canon law) so can't say if there are any loopholes...I would suppose if a woman disguised herself as a man, and the bishop ordained her thinking she was a man, that would be ruled invalid...but whether someone having homosexual inclinations would be a similar case, I don't know...perhaps the person had honestly persuaded himself at the time of ordination that he wasn't a homosexual, but later changed his mind.
