It could be like the Eastern Orthodox do it ---they let married men become priests but priests don't marry ---so you don't have the problem of them "datings" etc. Or else married deacons could take on more duties but not have quite the status of priests. Either way ---married priests isn't the only answer ---the main thing is to get the homosexuals out. If they're homosexual but celibate then they could stay.

Celibate homosexuals would not work. Homosexuality remains a death loving abberation. What if the Church's authoritative priesthood as in the Roman Catholic world displayed approval of homosexuality. This would display an ugly role modeling.
