God did create all living and non-living things. He does not hate gays, He hates sin. Homosexuality is a sin and is a choice that people make. God wants nothing more than for all of His children to know Him and obey Him.

God didn't create "gays" just like He didn't create alcoholics. And He doesn't hate people because they sin, He offers to give them power to overcome their sins.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
I've heard the arguments about gays being that way because of genetics but there's no proof to that argument. Not every pair of twins where one person is gay, both of them are gay. It's just like the argument that alcoholism is genetic. While there may be factors that cause a person to be more prone to either of those two conditions, there is much evidence to support upbringing as a major factor in a person falling into either of those two vices.
Many men who identify themselves as "gay" either were sexually abused as children or they had an abusive or distant father and an overbearing mother.
As someone who was a drunkard for most all of my adult life but who has been delivered from that lifestyle by the power of Christ in my life I just want to tell everyone else that God has made a way for you to come out of whatever destructive behavior you feel that you can't overcome. He loves you and will help you in Jesus' name, Amen!

God doesn't hate anyone. And He doesn't create a person that is sinful. I don't know why people are gay, but because of Romans1:26-27, I don't think God meant for them to be. P.S. I was in a lesbian relationship for 3 years before I became Christian, so I'm not trying to be judgemental.

God does not hate gays. He loves everyone. Th ebible says to love the sinner, hate the SIN. God sees all sin as equal. Steal a piece of gum, kill someone....All sin in God's eyes and all equally distasteful. We as human beings have a hard time seeing things this way. So God does not hate gays. he simply hates their sins, as he does all of our sins.

All of Us here on Earth are given burdens and choices to make.
Earth is not Heaven.
God has given Humans the freedom of choice. If we choose well, we will be rewarded after our time on Earth.
Some are given the choice of gay or straight.
Some are challenged by poverty to steal or not.
Some are challenged by the death of a child to hate God or not.
There are many, many choices we Humans have to make.
The stress of the constant struggle that is Life is the test we have to pass in order to get our rewards.
Peace

He loves gays, just not their sin. Their SIN is whats bad, not them. Homosexuals have been around since the time of Noah, they arent new.

I don't think that Bill Gates writes all the software programs, himself :-)
The founder of a Fortune 500 manufacturing company will not manufacture all the products himself/herself. Some products will fail during quality testing and some will not.
Lets take it cool :-)

Jehovah doesn't 'hate' homosexuals.It is the perverted sexual acts that Jehovah depises.
People were not created homosexual,despite what people say.How could a loving father create something only to despise and condemn it?
