From a practical standpoint, people who have chosen celibacy don’t have to live alone if they don’t want to. I know many LGBT people who are celibate and who have richer lives because they have roommates, live with families, or even find comfort in living on their own. I know that a friend will never be a replacement for a spouse, but sharing living space with others can be an alternative to living alone. In fact, it can provide some deep and lasting relationships.
