Maintaining Negiah with a Homosexual Friend (for a Woman)

Greetings and blessings, Fortunate are you to have merited to guard yourself so steadfastly; surely you will continue to uphold this proper conduct befitting a modest, pure Jewish woman. Especially in these days, when we all seek merits for the Day of Judgment, a great and exalted merit presents itself for you to overcome the natural difficulty and the advice of the evil inclination, and surely you will prevail and not be lenient in your observance of negiah. It is clear that there is absolutely no permission for physical contact, especially a hug, until marriage and ritual purification in the mikvah, with Hashem's help. 

With esteem, Binyamin Shmueli
