 Is homosexuality consistent with hindu teachings?

Hinduism teaches and expects its followers to observe a moral code of conduct. Because marriage is a union between a man and a woman as spouses, as recognized by the social system of the time.

It is not validated by the Vedas. Marriage is a sacred relationship that cannot be redefined according to our convenience. Any definition of marriage in Hinduism need to be validated by the Vedas, which are considered the verbal testimony since they are an eternal aspect of God and represent the highest truth. The Vedas recognize the marriage between a man and a woman only. Such a marriage may happen either with or without consent , but the relationship is always between a man and woman, never between people of the same-sex. Even the Asuras (demons), who break all the rules, do not participate in same-sex relationships. According to the Vedas, a marriage is a sacred bond between two individual souls, born on earth as a male and a female to participate in God's creations as His aspects and instruments. Together, they participate in the preservation and continuation of the world and world order.

A soul has no sexuality, but it is bound to the laws of Nature. Unlike in Christianity and Islam, according to Hindu scriptures, a soul, usually called the individual Self, is devoid of qualities, parts, gender, identity and sexuality. In other words, it has no fixed personality of its own. It is pure consciousness which assumes a name and form according to its past karma. However, for cleansing its past karma, every soul needs to take birth upon earth in a good family and in favorable conditions. Same-sex marriages do not facilitate rebirth, nor the reentry of ancestors from the ancestral world. Hence, spiritually they are not the same as normal marriages between a man and a woman. 

It conflicts with the chief aims of human life. Hinduism recognizes four chief aims of human life (Purusharthas), namely dharma (duty), artha (wealth), kama (pleasures) and moksha (liberation). Vatsayana states that man should practice these aims at different periods in his lifetime in such a manner that they harmonize rather than clash. 

For example he should study dharma (Vedas) as a student in childhood, pursue artha as a youth and kama in the middle age. With regard to importance, dharma is first, then artha, followed by kama. when these are pursued rightfully, then it leads to liberation (moksha), the fourth aim. In other words, pursuit of artha and kama should be according to the precepts of Dharma and not otherwise. Thus in Hinduism, there is no rightful place for sexual enjoyment arising from homosexual acts, since they are not conducive to the four chief aims of human life, and especially liberation (moksha).

It conflicts with, the ideals of Dharma. Same-sex marriage do not permit humans to participate in creation and serve God by performing their share of His obligatory duties. 

The purpose of a marriage is twofold: procreation and continuation of obligatory duties (dharma) assigned to the couple according to their birth. Vatsayana declares that the results of a marriage are, "The acquisition of Dharma and Artha, offspring, affinity, increase of friends, and untarnished love." Manusmriti says, "Women were created to be mothers, and men to be fathers. Therefore, religious rites are ordained in the Veda to be performed (by the husband) together with the wife." In a marriage, each of the couple has an obligation to perform their duties for the preservation of the family, society and continuation of the order and regularity (rtam) of the world. Their duties are actually part of the duties (Dharma) of God Himself. By performing the duties obligatory to them they assist God in keeping the worlds going and in the orderly progression of events. In other words, each individual is meant to serve God and live in the service of God. You worship God by living and doing your duties and earn your right to liberation. Hinduism is called a way of life because it advocates God-centric life, in which every act you perform is an offering to God and in the service of God. Living for yourself is sinful and leads to karma.

so the final answer is a big NO.

homosexuality is not consistent with Hindu teachings.
