Keberadaan uskup homoseksual dalam Katolik Roma, Anglikan, Lutheran dan tradisi lain adalah sebuah bahan catatan sejarah, meskipun tak pernah dianggap sah sampai saat ini oleh denominasi-denominasi Kristen utama manapun.[1] Kegiatan homoseksual dilakukan diam-diam. Saat diketahui publik, tindakan resmi diambil mulai dari penangguhan tugas-tugas sakramental sampai dikembalikan ke kehidupan awam.[2]
