Default Buddhism & Confucianism?

Are those two religions against homosexuality? What are their views towards it?

Buddhism and Confucianism are not religions, they are philosophies.

These philosophies are designed to help human beings focus their mind.
These philosophies are to aid humans regarding a state known as mental dis-ease. When the mind is allowed to wander aimlessly, without direction. They are designed to give 'man' mental clarity.

It is up to each adherent within these two philosophies regarding their personal views of life's sometimes diverse directions. This is a human judgment call, that each adherent must either accept or reject according to the clarity of their mind.

This is known as "diversity within unity" and "unity within diversity".

"Peace"

Buddhism addresses things beyond physical.
Homosexuality is a certain personality due to hormonal and neurological( both are physical) difference.

So, Buddhism tries to tackle the sexuality issue as a whole rather than separately as straights or gays.
