God is love, God loves. God wants to be in relationship with humanity. Sexuality isn't a lifestyle, it's part of who we are, and if we believe in God, then part of who God made us to be. As far as lifestyle goes, throughout the Bible, God is more concerned with how the wealthy help the poor, and how God's people seek justice for the oppressed. Be more concerned about these things than judging what God hates or doesn't hate.

See, I don't believe in a god; I believe in myself. So, for me, it's a question of do *I* hate homosexuals or their lifestyles. As a f@g hag to more than 40 men and women... the answer is "no" to both questions.

It is ok for people to have strong feelings for people of the same sex but when that is acted on in a sexual way is when things would seem to go against the teachings of virtually every religion. So it is the lifestyle not the people.
In the bigger picture there are many types of sin, if God hated every sinner we would all be in big trouble!

God does not hate homosexuals but that kind of lifestyle is an abomanation to Him. You cannot live this type of lifestyle if you hope to go to Heaven. Those who make the choice to live this type of lifestyle should repent and leave it immediately. Contrary to what you might have heard no one is born that way and there is no "gay" gene.

God does not hate. People hate and twist things around to make others agree to their hate. God cannot hate how he Made you. You did not Choose to be homosexual so God has no reason to call you a sinner because he made you that way.

God loves everyone. However, he hates their lifestyle. That is written in the Bible.

Good question. God hates the sin, not the sinner. He says to come as you are, and he means it. If he doesn't like something you are doing, then it's between you and God, and he'll help you deal with it in time. He certainly doesn't hate anyone.

God loves EVERYBODY. When he came to Earth as The Son, Jesus sat and dined with prostitutes, tax collectors, and other sinners. But God created man and woman so that MAN and WOMAN could unite in HOLY matrimony. So I guess the answer is: He hates their lifestyle, which is sinful.
