It is not for Sex and not for Homosexuality.

The Origins of Valentine's Day

Emperor Claudius II executed two men- both were named Valentine- on February 14 of different years. Saint Valentine was a priest who was believed to have secretly helped Christian couples get married. This was a move against the Roman Emperor Claudius II because the emperor did not allow men to get married. Claudius ordered for St Valentine’s execution.

Legend has it that before his beheading, while being imprisoned, Valentine cured his jailor’s blind daughter. His final act before being beheaded was to write a love message signed “from your Valentine”. He was finally executed on February 14, 270 AD.

It wasn’t until more than 200 years later, that February 14 was proclaimed as St Valentine’s Day. Lupercalia was replaced by St Valentine’s Day by the end of the 5th century by Pope Gelasius, thus establishing this feast day on the Catholic Calendar of Saints.
