As long as they are not "holding the priesthood" of another male member...

Chastity is a life long requirement for LGBT members. If they abide by it they can be ordained to the priesthood.

Any man, gay or straight can hold his priesthood. But he may not move his hand while doing so. Consider it a solo soaking.

Yes, a gay person can have the priesthood.

Yes, as long as they're not acting on their desires.

As long as they're miserable and lonely.

(Basically the same as for straights.)

Yes. They can lie about it. If they pay tithing, they can go to the temple together. I knew a gay couple that went to the temple regularly, and could sit together, unlike other couples.

That would be a really cool thing to do, if the church were true.

But it's not.

That sounds like a bonus... Unless you nag each other to stay awake or straighten your fig leaves.

If one is truly interested in the whole story about how men who are admittedly gay are managed within TSCC paradigm, them you should view the Mormon Stories podcast that interviewed the former LDS man who won the So You Think You Can Dance program.

Yes, anyone can. Considering it is an imaginary power, just bestow it upon anyone you wish.
