You are right, God hates sin.
On the other hand, God holds loving your neighbor as second only to loving Him.
If you don't truly love your fellow human beings then you are sinning just like those two girls.
He hates your sin equally as much as He hates theirs.
Sin is sin is sin, it's all the same to Him.
If you focus on loving people instead of passing judgment on them you will be much better off...with God and with people.

Leviticus? You're quoting Leviticus? Well let's not be exclusive! there are other GREAT WORDS OF WISDOM (as posted recently by another poster) in Leviticus, including:
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev.21:20 states that I may ! not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
And since we're "calling on Jesus," to "repent our sins today," let's not forget his helpful instructions in Luke 14:26 and 27, where he tell us, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

And this bigoted view is why I stopped being christian.
Love is a beautiful thing, regardless of it being between heterosexual or homosexual couples.
I don't think god was behind those words there. I think it was man who wrote those words because of either their views on the matter or that they were trying to make sure the human race kept going. *from their perspective, since two men or two women can't have children, they probably saw this as a potential to humans in the long run*

Actually, in EVERYTHING you quoted, nothing was mentioned about kissing, only sex. They didn't commit a sin, ACCORDING to your religion in public.
Not everyone is Christian. Do you wish to force your religion into law? Do you plan to turn the US into a Christian Iran?

But we are not to Judge their sin, that is between them and God.
They may have broken a civil law depending on how far they went in public.
Pray for them.
Peace!

I'm sorry to hear your God can hate. Sounds like he isn't very enlightened.

I'm sure God is completely against love between two adult humans.
Here's your sign.
