No, it wouldn't make a difference if the applicant was homosexual.

[H]e said he had never noticed anything homosexual in himself.

1892 [1889], Charles Gilbert Chaddock, transl., Psychopathia Sexualis, Philadelphia: F. A. Davis, translation of Psychopathia Sexualis by R. von Krafft-Ebing, page 97:

"Significant results indicate that Swedes would choose a more masculine partner the more homosexual they are, and that Finns would choose a more attractive partner the more homosexual they are."

1983, Michael W. Ross, Homosexuality and Social Sex Roles:

(of a person or other animal, formal, distancing or dated) Sexually and/or romantically attracted to members of the same sex, such as a man who is attracted to men or a woman who is attracted to women; gay. (Typically used in the sense of sole/exclusive attraction.)

Most western countries have repealed laws against homosexual activity between consenting adults.

Shatner: Have you ever had a homosexual experience?

2022 March 20, Bill Maher, William Shatner, 56:37 from the start, in William Shatner, Club Random With Bill Maher, episode 1, Club Random Podcast, archived from the original on 2022-04-05:

/ˌhəʊməʊˈsɛkʃuːəl/

Charles Gilbert Chaddock
Karl Maria Kertbeny
Psychopathia Sexualis
Richard von Krafft-Ebing

Borrowed from German homosexual, from homo- (“same”) + sexual (“relating to sex or sexuality”), coined by Karl Maria Kertbeny in 1868, and popularized in Richard von Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis (2nd ed. 1887, in German) and Charles Gilbert Chaddock's 1892 English translation thereof (compare bisexual), displacing the slightly older term Uranian. Equivalent to homo- + -sexual.


homosexual

It must not be understood that homosexuality is confined to women. Relationships of this type exist also among men, and in taki-taki are to be found words which are specific designations for male homosexuals, who are termed hantimąn, or awɛge.

1936, Melville J. Herskovits, Frances S. Herskovits, Suriname folk-lore, New York: Columbia University Press, page 32:

Soon, we got up, walked around the west side — toward the "meat rack" — the gay part of the park. There, it was as if someone had hung a line of marionettes on the railing: the lonesome young homosexuals, legs dangling, looking, waiting for that one-night's sexual connection...

1963, John Rechy, City of Night, page 48:

It was unheard-of for those of us who are 30-something or older to have had an openly gay role model when we were young. Homosexuals weren't depicted in the media in a positive light, if at all.

(typically formal, distancing or dated) A person who is sexually attracted solely or primarily to others of the same sex.

typically formal; distancing or dated; typically formal; distancing or dated

one containing synonyms that generally are not derogatory and one containing those that generally are. However

note that the non-derogatory terms can nonetheless be used derogatorily

and that some of the derogatory ones are often used humorously and non-derogatorily by gay people and others

homosexual

Denn das Wort „Entartung“ bezog sich ohne Zweifel auf jene Individuen, welche von solchen homosexualen Leidenschaften befallen sind, und activ sich Personen zu deren Befriedigung suchen[…]

1869, Anonymous [Karl Maria Kertbeny], Paragraph 143 des preußischen Strafgesetzbuches vom 14. April 1851 […] , page 36:

Bei eingehenderer Exploration erklärt sich Pat. für wesentlich doch homosexual, Empfindung und Trieb zum anderen Geschlecht nur für etwas Episodisches, Grobsinnliches. So leide sie zwar gegenwärtig schrecklich unter sexuellen Drängen zu jenem Manne ihrer Umgebung, aber ein edlerer und höherer Genuss sei es ihr, auf eine sanftgerundete, weiche Mädchenwange einen Kuss zu hauchen.

1889, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, “Psychische Hermaphrodisie”, in Psychopathia Sexualis, page 99:

»Wie er aber dann das Resultat seines jünglinghaften Empfindens und Denkens, die Frucht jahrelanger Isoliertheit und melancholischer Anwandlungen, die Stimmung einer ganz reinen, von sinnlichen Regungen freien, fast homosexual gearteten, dabei glücklich und heiter veranlagten Seele in seinen lehrhaften Gesängen und Preisungen einer menschenumfassenden, selbstlosen Nächstenliebe aushauchte und ausströmte, […] «
