The Buddha's discourses apparently do not touch on the subject. While depictions of homosexuals and homosexual behavior have gained increasing acceptance in the popular entertainment media, and the performances of openly homosexual artists are common, gays are still targets for slurs and condemnation, especially in some forms of rap or hip-hop music.

People are people.
