The analogy draws from the Catholic belief that homosexual behavior, if not atoned for, will get a person toasted in hell, or at least a couple thousand years added to their purgatory sentence. Their love (remember, this is agape, not philia) takes into account other factors besides the feelings of the gay population itself.

As an aside, I read an article recently to the effect that about 75% of U.S. Catholics support gay marriage or civil unions, and some pressure groups have repeatedly locked horns with the clergy over this issue.
