It doesn't name, for example, the Catholic church's role in the harm it has done to the LGBTQ community. It does recognize the CC has not always been respectful and understanding, but naming one's sin is part of repentance. In this case, there is still a holding onto the idea that the CC is not the sinner in the relationship.
It also reminds me of the ELCA's stance prior to the 2000s (my background) It recognizes there are gay and lesbian priests and nuns (finally), but also holds onto the idea that suppressing who they are is both beneficial to the church and the communities they serve. It is a "don't ask, don't tell" model. Granted, even if priests and nuns did come out, it would still mean a chaste lifestyle, so the priesthood can never really take the next step.
The good news is there is acknowledgement that the LGBTQ is a part of the church and not a threat to the church. There is a call for more listening and more acceptance. It is a good baby step.
