I'm more convinced than ever that you are either a cultural Christian, or something else. Not only did you answer my question in an indirect and sly fashion, but even after I explained why monasticism/a monastic order cannot become, nor was ever meant to be, a glorified pig pen for people with issues, you still insist on it being said pig pen. Monasticism is supposed to be a voluntary path for those who are called by God and have the spiritual strength to undertake such a heavy task:
>My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
>James 3:1
The above verse is a specific warning against individuals (heterosexual or not) becoming priests willy-nilly, due to being judged far more harshly by God, and thus receiving greater condemnation if one is not cut out/fails in such a task. Monasticism is considered a higher calling than priesthood, and are thus held to an even higher standard. If you just take a homosexual, who's not cut out for this life, and just shove him him into said calling just because he's a homosexual, you are literally damning him to greater condemnation from God. Protestantism, and several of it's most questionable doctrines, such as "Once Saved, Always Saved", "Unconditional Election/Irresistible Grace", "Faith Alone without Works", and "Total Depravity," are either the direct or indirect product of Martin Luther trying to be a monk, washing out, and twisting scripture and doctrine to compensate for his personal failings and mental illness: scrupulosity.
Christianity can certainly be a force for social order, but there are aspects of it that are more than just a mere tools for social order. Your insistence on turning monasticism into just a quarantine zone for homosexuals indicates that you do not get this concept.
There is also, once again, the poor track record of putting a bunch of homosexuals together, as well as the fact that even individual homosexuals who are instructed and indoctrinated into Christianity outside of an all homosexual environment drop the ball hard, (i.e. the Catholic pedophile scandals.) further reinforcing that not all homosexuals are cut out for this line of God's work.
