An unfair and unanswerable question. The Bible does not claim to know or understand the mind of God. It just tells people how to live and act, not the secrets of the universe. It's a bit ignorant for someone to say (in earnest, not sarcastic jest as Scott did to kick this whole thing off) that God hates gays, or anyone else, or to presume any other views God may hold that aren't expressed in the canonized books of the Bible. It is different for someone to say "God says..." if there's Scripture to back it up. Someone who believes in the literal interpretations of the Bible is correct to say that it is (or was, depending on your specific beliefs) a sin to do or not do something specific, from their perspective. But there are no verses of scripture that answer a "why" question.
