Do you believe that 'Love=Sex'?   The church has absolutely no problem with two men or two women truly loving each other.  The problem is sexual intimacy.  Did you miss that part?   Or are you just intentionally trying to confuse the issue?   If Two men (or women) are very close friends, and confide in each other, and support one another, there is no problem with this.  The Church requires all of us to refrain from any physical intimacy outside of Marriage of a man and woman.   That means that people who feel strongly drawn to extramarital affairs, are forbidden from acting on this.  Those who feel strongly drawn to sexual acts before marriage are required to refrain etc...   This isn't singling out Homosexuals, but it's an understanding that sexual intimacy has a single proper context, and that context is the confines of natural marriage between a man and a woman.    This is based upon the very nature of sex, assuming you know a thing or two about human physiology and biology....
