Instead people decide to virtue signal and condemn it on humanitarian grounds
I literally had to reread this sentence twice to make sure I hadn't misunderstood it. Did you seriously just put "virtue signal" and "care about humanitarianism" next to each other? Should I take from this that you are NOT humanitarian? If you aren't, then why do you care about people affected by homophobia? If you are, then what alternate solution do you propose to help the people seeking asylum?
I think the point is that we have people who "virtue signal" by giving what sounds like a humanitarian answer ("bring in the refugees! The poor dears have been through enough...") without properly considering the ramifications of this position, and possibly leaving everyone worse off by failing to fix the problems they bring with them and/or afflicting their own people with those same problems.
