Two people of the same gender: *are very close and emotionally intimate with each other but show no signs of a sexual or romantic relationship*
Some of y’all dumbasses: there’s literally no heterosexual explanation for this
Me: You do know that not every intimate relationship involves sex or romance, right? That people can be very close to each other without being sexually or romantically involved? And that claiming otherwise actively damages real non-sexual, non-romantic relationships by spreading the notion that people can’t be emotionally close without being sexually and romantically involved? You do realize sexual and romantic relationships aren’t the only kinds that are important to people, right?
“Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend.”
CS Lewis
You seem to have dropped the rest of the CS Lewis quote! Here it is: "The rest of us know that though we can have erotic love and friendship for the same person yet in some ways nothing is less like a Friendship than a love-affair. Lovers are always talking to one another about their love; Friends hardly ever about their Friendship. Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest.“
Funny how you left that one out, Jesus blog
The rest of the quote changes nothing about what I said. It further proves my and op’s statement that there are multiple types of love and that not every showing of love toward another person is about sex.
I do not know where I have ever said anything homophobic but please let me know so that I can correct that. Pointing out that it is not cool to push that someone is a homosexual just because they are showing love for their friend is not homophobic. Stop calling every person who gives criticism like this a “homophobe” because it takes away from those who actually have been a victim of violence for being a homosexual.
Because it is my job to share Christ, He has let us know that it is sinful to act on homosexual desires, ANY sexual desires, outside of marriage. He has stated over and over that sex is to be done within a marriage and between a man and a woman because it reflects Christ and the Church and His marriage to us. If you have a problem with that then you have to take it up with Him.
I am just as guilty as the next person when it comes to sexual sins like this, so this isn’t me trying to throw stones in a glass house. This is me letting you know Christ is who sets you free. I hope that you come to know Him if you have not already and that you have a wonderful day.
