I think the reason its possibly offensive, is that theres 12 women, and one man, to match up with the 12 desciples and Jesus. Using that reasoning, the picture is implying that Jesus had an inappropriate relationship with one of his disciples. Alternatively, in Leonardo's original, Jesus was sat in the centre. By stating that the picture is a parody of The Last Supper, they're implying thet Christ was a woman.

They're the only reasons I can see.
