I think the church could do a lot without changing doctrine. I don't think you'd see a person struggling with a coffee habit give the same emotion as a gay Mormon when it comes to feeling ostracized.

No, but to state the obvious here, drinking coffee doesn't carry the same social stigmas and isn't as politically divisive as being gay.
I'm not saying we can't be more compassionate, but let's be fair here: there is a vocal, public element of the gay community that is hostile and in-your-face. It's not surprising that some people may have a pejorative reaction to someone who identifies themselves in whatever degree with that movement.
