Why do Christians hate gays?
Some church called me and told me to vote 'Yes' on California Prop 8. Prop 8 is a measure to ban gay marriage. Would Jesus really be against gay marriage? Why don't Christians ever practice what they preach?

I am a Christian, and I support gay rights. Discriminating against others due to their sexual orientation is morally wrong.

Not all those who pretend to be Napoleon are Napoleons just like not all those who pretend to be Christians are Christians.
Some sources that answer the second question:
Romans 1:22-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:10; Jude 7-8; Lev 18:22; Lev.20:13; Genesis 9:24; Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Kings 14:24; 15:12; 2 Kings 23:7; Isaiah 3:9.

Christianity is just another religion where the blind man leadeth the blind. Christians have created more hate than love if you really take a look at things currently going on in the world today.
Jesus would not have banned gays and Jesus did not create Christianity, Paul did, and Paul never met Jesus. When you have confusion leading confusion there tends to be a lot crap.
Here's an example of this crap. Just read it and you'll see what I mean: http://www.philosophyforum.com/forum/lounge/general-discussion/2317-talkjesus-com-encounter-jesus-christ-chad.html
Christianity in and of itself has created more wars and more separation than they are even aware of. I come from a Christian home and they'll barely speak to me. Many people are all too concerned with changing others. It's not the others we have to focus on.
Jesus was a way-shower. Just because one calls or labels themselves as a Christian doesn't mean they actually understand the life and works of Jesus Christ. 90% of all Christians are followers of they're respective religious leaders and 90% of those don't understand the Sermon on the Mount.

The real question is, "Why do gays hate Christianity?"
It WAS Jesus that Gave those laws prohibiting homosexuality.
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST.
I would like to know what benefit anyone thinks mankind gets from homosexuality?
There is NONE! The moral fiber of any nation is based upon the soundness of FAMILY! Though there are MANY things people do that work against that, the homosexual lifestyle is the most prominent as there is nothing "family" about it. Homosexual thinking, philosophical outlook and lifestyle are as anti-family as CAN be. I don't see pedophiles trying to convert the public to pedophilia. Nor do I see serial murderers trying to convince people of the benefits to them of that lifestyle. I DO see homosexuals trying to imitate normalcy with marriages and even adoptions. I do see them trying to gain acceptance of their lifestyle while showing NO benefit of that lifestyle to humanity. It is a lifestyle that HAS to exempt God's word. Without His word beliefs ARE mythology.
Deu 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Deu 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Gen 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

We hate the actions, the behavior, not the person. Jesus follows what His Father tells Him and so yes He does not accept gay marriages, only marriage between a man & woman.
