Disagree=hate? Because people seem to think that if you disagree with them, you are judging them and hating them. Is this truly the way it is?

Not really. It depends on the way you will say it and how close you are to the person. I agree with you, most people doesnt want to admit mistakes but mature ones are open to it because they know it what makes them strong.

No, I don;t think disagree = hate. I can disagree with people and not even get upset by that. Diversity is what makes the world interesting. However...
disagreeing with someone and saying that they are WRONG is arrogant. So to say " I disagree with homosexuality, I think it's wrong" is an upsetting statement because you are saying unequivocally that I AM WRONG. To disagree is to say that, you don;t personally think that way, but another person can think that way and it's ok. Disagreeing that another person should have the right to get married and adopt a child is hateful when you don;t know them. You are not judging them based on anything pertinent to the question, only on what gender of a person they sleep with, which if you just disagreed and left out the It's wrong part, should have no bearing on the subject.
Disagreeing is not hateful, but the second part of disagreeing is the basis for why you are disagreeing. Those are the things that can be hateful. To say that a person is = to a child molestor...is hateful. To say they are the reason AIDS exists is hateful.
So, to simply disagree is not hateful, but examine the reasons you disagree, are those judgemental? Are those reasons hateful?
See none

Disagreement certainly doesn't equal hate. All right, not in most people. Unfortunately for some people it does. Most people realize that others have the right and ability to be able to discuss touchy subjects. Freedom of speech also has to contain the freedom to disagree otherwise it doesn't mean anything. Perhaps people in general are becoming too "intense" on certain subjects (politics and religion being two of them) and rather than agreeing to disagree they take the disapproval of their views as hate. It's a very sad thing....ye gods, I hope I've made sense.

i disagree about lotsa things in the world but not necessarily hate. (how i usually feel when i talk to my partner or my mum....lol) but there are things that i disagree with AND hate! (like discrimination)
i guess a lot would depend on the tone and content of the" disagreement". if the case that you put forward sounds condescending then it might be misinterpreted as "hate".
i say, dint miss the Forrest for the tree. just forget about them and carry on meeting more nice people out there!

You can disagree respectfully, without insulting a person. Anybody coming from the 'agree-with-me-or-else-you're racist/sexist/wrong/stupid/ ect' school of though usually chages their mind after they graduate 8th grade, or get a boyfriend/girlfriend, whichever comes first. Most people don't keep doing that into old age.

Unfortunetly I think yes. Because people seem more volnerable when they try to make thier point. When the other person does or doesnt make thier point you hate them for the way they think. I find myself doing so.

When you denounce and demean another group of people based on how God made them, yes, I think it can justifiably be called hatred. At least discrimination and bigotry, no?
If you were to do the same based on the color of someone's skin, we would call it racism, but probably hatred, too.

Regarding YOUR responses in this forum? (I've seen some of your answers.)
To answer your question: Yes. Definitely.
As an aside:
You appear to be a bitter, bitter woman who has chosen her screen name in this virtual world because you're not the matriarch you wish you could be [recognized as] in the real world -- proud or otherwise.

Not accepting a view point not hating.Hatred relates to the general aspect of nature as an antithesis of love.
