Come on, which word exactly expressed hate? The worst I could find was "deviant", which in my book means "strays from the norm", that is what homosexuality is, it strays from the norm. For religious people it is indeed an abomination (not the people, the act), just like murders (the acts) are abomination (and for true Christians, for instance, the murderers are not an abomination and repentance gets them back in favor with the all mighty). I may not agree with that last tenet of Christianity, but it surely is not hateful to characterize some acts as deviant or abomination.
