I don't hate you so wouldn't want you to go down. Christians didn't make the standards God did.

Christian have no right to hate anyone, (well maybe satan). The word 'Christian' means "Christ Like". Christ does not hate the Gays, but he does hate the sin of homosexuality. For that matter Christ hates all sin.
While I am not sure of the reason for the question, I trust if you are in this situation you will give God a chance to show you His love. There are churches out there that are very judgmental about Gays. Of course you will find attending those same churches, adulators, thieves, gossips, and gluttons. All sins committed by people as well.

Christians don't hate people, gay or otherwise, Johnny. At least not real Christians. To hate people would be disobediance to the commandment and teachings of our Lord.
We may hate the act that they do, but do not hate the person. We are commanded to love each other and we do. It is because of this love that we want to turn our fellow men, women and children away from the sin in their life.
We ourselves are not perfect, but it is our duty to help each other turn from sin.
If you find someone who claims to be a Christian and exhibits hatred towards another man, one would be inclined to question his faith or offer him support as he is obviously being tested in his faith and commitment.
I've seen you post several questions of similar nature. I'm not sure what your confusion is, but unless you understand that homosexuality is a sin, you will probably not understand the Christian position. (or the position of Jews and Muslems either for that matter)
If you want to know more, feel free to write. I do not hate you.

I think this is a stereotype where it puts all Christians in this type of light that says that Gays are wrong and going to Hell.Overzealous and Hypocrites, they are ;some of them, they let friends and family they know of slide but not the people they don't know. Hypocrites!Not all Christians are like that; sure there are some that believe that but others who don't care about or have a Negative opinion over the likes of opinion that don't have anything to do with us. Like you said yourself," Love one Another as I have loved you", I believe that b/c you're going to live your life to what you want to live and I'm not going to judge you for things that have nothing to do with me b/c I'm on a much bigger mission in my life than knocking on people b/c of their beliefs.I just did to a length of supporting ya'll but I believe in my own Faith a full support of alot of things, not labeling myself as a Christian or Catholic but just a Child of God or as I would call myself, Soldier of God. You may or may not believe all the things I believe in either, to certain lengths and that's COMPLETELY FINE; everyone is going to believe what they want to believe. We all have opinions for a reason, it is what makes us different and unique!

Love the sinner, Hate the Sin ! But we do have free will, and anyone has a right to hate whatever they choose. It is up to you make the choice for yourself. If one person chooses to Hate, that is his own sin to deal with.

No one has a "right" to hate anyone. christians tend to skip over the bible parts that mention love thy brother, the bible even mentions that people of other faiths or non beliefs are entitled to heaven provided they were sincere and earnest in that belief. Me personally though can not excuse hate no matter what religious book claims to back it up.
