Homosexuality and Noahides

How strict is the Noahide Law regarding the prohibition of homosexuality? I heard form various Jewish sources that the only thing that is strictly forbidden is the actual sexual intercourse between men. So what about a love relationship between two men that does not involves sexual intercourse? Could it be tolerated in Noahide Law?

Noahide World Center

In response to the spiritual and value-driven demand for the word of God to be disseminated by the nation of Israel to all of mankind, we have established “Brit Olam – the Noahide World Center” in Jerusalem. We are in constant contact with many people all over the world who have a strong desire to learn the words of God.

  1. Any sex act that is not between a man and a woman who are married to each other for reason of procreation is considered illicit sex and is prohibited and punished by death according to the Noahide Laws. These laws apply to everyone.
