Romans 1:26-30
Homosexuality is not of God's Nature, judgement is on those who are against His Nature. Galatians 5:19-21

So we do hate the sin which we have committed too and we are not perfect, but we love you that we I won't let you believe in a lie. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life

Homophobia is the fear of gay people. Not hate. Another misconception common to reality...

It is judgment in itself to make a decision. The only way to not make judgment is to lock yourself in the closet and starve to death

God judges people. Does that make him sinful?

You make a meme on religion, you get comments from religious people πŸ™ƒ
Personally I think you misunderstand a bit. God made the judgement of what's right and wrong, not us. We believe homosexuality is a sin because He judged it so. (It's DEFINITELY not up to humans to say who is going to Hell, however. I think that's the judgement you're referring to.)
The term 'homophobia' needs some clarification, though. I'm operating under the approximate definition 'opposition of homosexuality', but I'm also aware that the definition changes from person to person.
So, if you're in the large camp that says it means 'prejudice against gay people', that's where things get iffy. You can't expect religious people to accept homosexuality any more than we expect gays to accept the word of God. In fact, most gays I've met make everything in their lives about their sexual orientation; they define themselves by it, which is how our beliefs against homosexuality are perceived as beliefs against them. You surely believe that we are prejudiced if we don't support it because you don't think God's word is a good enough reason not to. That's where we reach a stalemate.
I think we can still be respectful of each other. 'Respect but don't support' isn't nonsense, it's a line that those who don't support homosexuality have been toeing more and more. It means that we have our beliefs that we won't compromise on, but we understand that you do too. Respectful, civil discourse is ideal. If more f the LGBTQ+ community could do the same as well, it would be achievable.
One last thing: I've never met a religious person who hates homosexuals. How can we, when our religions primarily preach love?
I'm afraid I typed too much, but I hope that makes sense. πŸ˜…

Oh, and if it seems strange that I said your name so much, I was reading How to Win Friends and Influence People today and apparently calling people by their name makes them think higher of you... God knows I needed the help, but I think I just cam across as weird instead. πŸ˜…

Hi, Yaper! I'm a Muslim and I adore interfaith discussions, so thanks for replying! Let's get into it, shall we?
I wanted to point out that that sort of rhetoric comes up often: "love is love." "Love doesn't see gender." "Would you deny these people their right to love?" Love, love, love. All you ever need, if the Beatles are to be believed.
Statements like these appeal to emotion more than rationale. They place the LGBTQ+ community as innocents, automatically placing anyone against homosexuality as an oppressor, and imply that by opposing it, you are obstructing love. You can see how that would be very uncomfortable to say the least, especially religions like ours, which primarily preach love.
In fact, those statements imply that either God is okay with LGBTQ+ or God is obstructing and oppressing love. That's not just uncomfortable – it's downright blasphemous. To reconcile your faith, you reason that of course it must be the former, because God loves us all and wouldn't force these people to be unhappy.
I've been there, Yaper. I understand where you're coming from.
Except, Muslims like me are taught to critically think about everything before accepting it as fact – even our Qur'an, which I am proud to say has stood the test of time. I looked at those emotionally loaded statements though a rational lens; here is a sample of some of my objective, non-emotional thoughts:
1. What could be Allah's reason for saying what He said? Is it for a reason I cannot foresee?
2. Wouldn't the Creator know what's best for His creation? And since he sent humanity the scriptures to guide us, can what they say be wrong?
3. Does it make more sense to listen to As-Samad (one of Allah's 99 names, approximately translated as the Eternal Refuge), into whom I place so much trust? Or does it make more sense to listen to my fellow humans, who cannot possibly compare to Him in wisdom?
Again, I'm a Muslim. You call Him God, I call Him Allah (unless I'm talking to people who give me weird looks when I say Allah and ask 'you mean, like, God?' A Eurocentric practice, I suppose, and a silly one. If I don't call my friend Noor "light" when I'm around Anglophones, I shouldn't have to call Allah "God", right? Ah, the things I do for clarity.)
But my message should be applicable to other religions too. At the end, Yaper, it all comes down to your faith in God.
I hope that makes sense. πŸ™‚
