In Jain Dharma, brahmacharya means control of sensual desire and purity in conduct. It is not defined by whether a person is gay or straight. What matters is self-restraint, non-attachment, and purity of body, mind, and speech.

So, in Jain terms:

• For monks and nuns: complete celibacy is required.
• For householders: one should follow restraint and avoid harmful indulgence, while living according to one’s vows and capacity.

If a person is gay, Jain Dharma still teaches the same principle: right conduct and self-control. Sexual orientation itself is not the central issue; attachment and loss of restraint are.

If you want, I can also explain brahmacharya in Jainism in simple words.
