I don't think Gimi's love for Galadriel was one of physical attraction. It's more like... being fascinated over a wiser and greater friend... something of that sort, I just can't get it out right. It's more of reverence than love in a way.
Possibly the dwarves needed some women - any women - because a lack of their own kind? I recall that they had very few females.
I haven't read HOME II, so I don't really know what's going on when the line was said...
