I guess we need to define "celibate homosexual."

Definition 1: someone who is sexually attracted to members of the same sex, recognizes homosexuality as a sin, and refuses to indulge in said sin.

Definition 2: someone who is sexually attracted to members of the same sex, belives homosexuality is not a sin, but pledges to remain celibate to best serve the Christ.

By my understanding of what's been presented, a candidate that fits definition 1 could be ordained, but a candidate that fits definition 2 could not be ordained. Is that a correct conclusion?

Homosexual acts are sinful; homosexual orientation is not.

Anyone who engages in homosexual activity should not be ordained, nor should one who openly preaches that homosexual activity is not sinful.
