Chastity frees us from the tendency to act in a manipulative or exploitive manner in our relationships and enables us to show true love and kindness always. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being. 1995 Friendship is a gift from God.
Friendship is a way of loving.
Friendship is necessary for every person. To equate friendship and full sexual involvement with another is to distort the very concept of friendship. Sexual loving presupposes friendship, but friendship does not require full sexual involvement. It is a mistake to say or think or presume that if two persons of the same or different sexes enjoy a deep and lasting friendship then they must be sexually involved. Generally, homosexual orientation is experienced as a given, not as something freely chosen.
