In Jain Dharma, the focus is not on condemning people, but on ahimsa, self-restraint, and purity of conduct.

A Jain approach to homosexuality can be understood like this:

• The person is to be respected. Jainism teaches non-violence in thought, word, and action, so there should be no hatred, insult, or cruelty toward anyone.
• Desire and attachment are the main spiritual concern. Jain ethics examine whether any sexual conduct increases attachment, passion, and craving, because these bind the soul.
• For ascetics, complete brahmacharya is required. Monks and nuns follow total celibacy, so any sexual activity is outside their path.
• For householders, sexual conduct is generally guided by restraint. Jain lay ethics encourage self-control, fidelity, and limiting passions.
• Jainism does not center on labeling people. The deeper question is always: does an action reduce passions and support the soul’s progress, or increase bondage?

So, from a Jain perspective, the right attitude is compassion without judgment, while also upholding brahmacharya, restraint, and ethical discipline according to one’s stage of life.
