The joke in the gay community is better latent than never. (The term latent homosexual is no longer used except as a perjorative because psychology no longer considers homosexuality as a disorder. It never was, they just stopped listening to Catholic bishops who craved not religious freedom but religious power).  Some priests are very queer in affect but would never consider themselves homosexual. There is no reason not to ordain them or any gay man or married man or gay woman or married woman. It’s not a doctrinal issue. It has nothing to do with abuse and everything to do with Trad prejudice. The generation that insisted on that prejudice is dying out. Those of us who were not bold enough to resist are not far behind them but the younger adult generations will force change, not by voting with their feet but with their contribution envelopes. Our craven hierarchy will listen.
