Nowadays people only become monks if they really are into the whole religion and celibacy thing, but back then it was just one of the main occupations, in a land where unemployment meant starving. That means a lot more people who weren't in it for the spiritualism.

Yeah.

Not to mention that the church as a whole was kind of corrupt, in a very medieval way - I mean, this was a period of time where the archetype of the philandering friar was absolutely commonplace, where the prelates of the church were venal in the extreme - it's not at all surprising that there would be homosexuality in a secluded all-male secular environment. Not to say that there wasn't also enormous piety and spirituality. The Middle Ages (late Middle Ages in particular) were just kind of a complex, strange, energetic period of time. Damn do I love reading about them.
