Question On Homosexual Relationships.

[Guest Gay Catholic]

hi.

Is it OK for homosexuals to have a homosexual relationship(includes kissing, cuddling, etc.) which is non-sexual? Does this conform to the Church's teaching? I would appreciate posts with supporting documents(ie. excerpts from Church documents).

Thanx.

I will have to quote documents later. I need to look up a few things, but in the mean time, just let me say, that any intimacy that goes beyond the realm of friendship, is not good. If the actions lead to sexual arousal with potential for graver activity than, yes you are not avoiding the near occasion of sin and you need to refrain. If it is the affection of brother and sister, than certainly this is not wrong.

peace,
