I really think this song is about a man who falls in love with a Christian (or otherwise religious) gay man who can't resolve his own feelings so it ruins the relationship. Pretty much all of the lyrics make sense to me through that lens.
@percodanny I can see what you're saying and the lyrics have always puzzled me. It's like 'Karma Chameleon' in that the mood of the lyrics clashes with the mood of the style. I think you're right, but what's odd is that the gospel choir on it is genuine and it makes me wonder how conservative they were and if they knew what they were doing at the time.
