Homosexuality was labeled as an abomination in the Old Testament. Other things that were labeled the same:
-Eating Shellfish
-Paying high interest rates
-Getting remarried
-Prideful arrogance
-Hiring a prostitute
-Not Helping the poor
-Adultery
Etc, etc.
Lots of things are called abominations. Some people just choose their "pet abominations" to focus on. Homosexuality happens to be one of those. There are reasons God asked certain things to be avoided. Obviously, homosexuals can't fulfill the whole "be fruitful and multiply" command. But that particular "sin" is no more offensive to God than the others listed. You won't ever see me holding a sign telling homosexuals that God hates them, 'cause if that was true I'd have to hold another sign pointing at me, too. From a Christian view: God hates sin, Jesus paid for all sins (past, present and future). We choose whether or not to accept his payment made on our behalf.
