Why would god make some people gay if he hates gay people?

I have several friends and some relatives who are gay. It surprises me that they remain Christians and keep going to the church even though they are well aware of the teachings and beliefs of their religion regarding homosexuality. They are aware of how some church members judge them and treat them as if they have some kind of psychological problems. A lot of times they are being disrespected and made fun of. What surprises me even more is the fact that they themselves think that being gay is something wrong and not normal but that they have no control over it or that it's some kind of an incurable illness. They believe that they are committing a sin by being gay and make up for it by asking for forgiveness and doing good deeds. I've asked some of them that if god hates gay people, why would he make them gay in the first place? None so far has provided me a convincing answer to this question.

Welp the thing is, is that

Welp the thing is, is that christians CAN'T have their own opinion, or were raised when they were little, which I do think can make a kid become/do/think alot of thing's they really wouldn't be/think. Apparently god is always right, and there is a reason for everythingggg he does. If you think otherwise, you burn forever. So pick your choice.

I thought man was made in god

I thought man was made in god's image, so that means the dude must be bisexual.

Seriously, there is no answer because it makes no sense. You are what you are, and you're entitled to get laid no matter what some strangely-dressed self-appointed bigots say.

First off, the phrase "God

First off, the phrase "God hates gay people" is misguided IF it is taken to mean that He singles them out from the rest of us. God's anger is equally upon everybody for our wickedness, and His love is extended equally to everybody because of His grace.

Second, the presence of sinful desires is not due to God, but due to our own depravity. When Adam sinned, the propensity for certain evils was brought into the human race. Now we have to deal with the consequences of being turned from God by our very natures. It is God who is working to restore our natures to His image.

I'm glad you're wicked too,

I'm glad you're wicked too, just like everyone else. Fun, no? Depraved too? Even better. As Orton said, you should have fun with your genitals while you can.

Why should we have to deal

Why should we have to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions? Which I'm sure God can choose to fix.

Edit: Whoops sorry Nutmeg, meant to be too the person above.
