Should Christians Hate Homosexuals?

Absolutely not! Just because Christians believe the Bible, and the Bible calls homosexuality a sin, does not mean we should hate them. It means we should pray for them. And if they want to sue us for not backing a cake or taking pictures for their wedding, let them do so.  As the great Reformer Martin Luther wrote:

"Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also.
The body they may kill,
God's truth abideth still.
His kingdom is forever."
(A Mighty Fortress Is Our God)

And as Our Lord Jesus says:

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." - Matthew 5:10-12

The Christian's attitude toward homosexuals can be summed up in the following quote by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892):

"If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for."
