Nothing about that subject specifically. But the basic concepts can be applied to almost anything. If you can be more specific I can try to help you apply the basic concepts to that situation.

Hi Blue

The Buddha provided many teachings on relationships.

The primary teachings are at the link below (13. THE PARTNER):

These teachings derive from the following discourses of the Buddha (and others not available on the internet):

If one is in a homosexual relationship, the basic principles still apply, namely, sharing mutual goals & developing mutual kindness, compassion & faithfulness towards eachother.

Kind regards
