Thoughts on radical inclusion

Some people espouse the idea of 'radical inclusion' when talking about the church. What does this mean?
For some it takes on a somewhat political tinge when people use the idea to say gays and lesbians should be included within the church.

Does it just mean gays and lesbians? Does it mean everyone?

At what point is the line crossed? Is there a line to cross? Should we care?

As a gay man I obviously welcome the idea of inclusion. But does radical inclusion literally include everyone? Can that lessen the idea of being included? And should I care because as a gay man I am being included?
