I did read it. He is referencing paragraphs 2357-2359.

Specifically, in 2358 “They (homosexuals) must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

Is any man called to judge another? By this, I am not discussing the judgement of actions, which we read in 2357, “...”homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 They are contrary to the natural law.”

He takes it a step further and says: “The problem is something else, the problem is lobbying either for this orientation or a political lobby or a Masonic lobby.”

Who judges souls? We examine our souls, and with a well-formed conscience, find ourselves guilty, everyday. Our Lord is the ultimate judge, but is tempered with oceans of mercy. While we may judge actions, we may not judge either hearts or souls.

No, read the portion of the interview where he entertains giving Holy Communion to adulterers; he even mentions possibly emulating the Orthodox.
