Suggest to your friend that he try this: He and his bf should host a dinner party, perhaps with other people from the church or perhaps just with other people who might enjoy each other's company, and invite the pastor. That way, it will be clear to the pastor that your friend is in a relationship without him having to come out (no pun intended) and say it, your friend can still show friendship to his pastor, and if he is just lonely, it might help.
