No hatred involved, the Bible is clear about homosexuality.
That's the thing I've always wondered about those who wish to fundamentally change the religion to be accepting of gay people when it is abundantly clear from the Bible itself that God is not particularly fond of gay people.
I guess that leaves only two choices:
1. Reconfigure God
2. Abandon God
I feel sad for folks who feel they need to abandon a faith that brings them comfort just because when their god was invented the people inventing him wrote him with some pretty unappealing characteristics (homophobia and a taste for genocide) but it's nice that as the franchise has evolved God has softened quite a bit and now loves people outside of the small Chosen group in the original episodes.
But if one accepts that God is "unchanging and eternal" it becomes harder to explain the entire arc of his character story.
Still it's good to see God evolving to fit humanity's expanding understanding of the world. I wish them good luck with the endeavor.
