Love is an action verb. Listen with love and respond as Jesus tells you. Love them where they are at. Don't be afraid to touch or to hold hands in prayer. We all need that physical affirmation of love from one another.
Homosexuals confuse sex and intimacy.
They need people who can model the appropriate place of touch and love language. They need to learn the place of physical affection outside the context of sexual involvement. They won't rape you. If your intentions are misunderstood, explain yourself, but don't back away. If you don't know what you should do, say so.
