Does God Hate Homosexuals?

Does God hate homosexuals? Why is it fair that people that aren't attracted to the other sex can't be right with God? I don't get it. I asked one of my fellow christian friends this question the other day. Her reply was this: homosexuals are like any other couple. They should abstain from the sex thing until they can be married or in this case have a good companionship and just abstain. It really bothers me that there are people and some of them close friends of mine that seem to be in this purgatory life. Be happy---be riduculed your whole life and forget being right with God because you are "living in sin." Or be not happy, being single or having that companionship and have this relationship with GOD and society. Let me know your thoughts on this controversial subject.
