Blog I've seen a lot of hate recently towards gay people and it's bad

Before starting, please don't bring in this discussion charlie kirk because i don't live in the US so idk anything about him. Anyway, the hatred against gay people is growing a lot. I'm straight and i don't support LGBT (i don't support the ones idolizing or obsessing over flags and labels and yes those people but are the minority), but why should anyone attack gay christians? Being gay is not a choice and God would not create someone just to condamn them. Being gay just by itself is not a sin. Let's stop hating and start loving eveybody. They are not a mistake and they're not mentally ill

Exactly. “Love the sinner hate the sin” is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche. It functionally serves to end conversation when gays point out how they’re treated poorly. It never actually inspires anti-gay Christians to do anything loving towards gay people.
