God also hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Conversely, Leviticus does not say explicitly (as Malachi does) that God hates homosexual practice, unless the word "abomination" implies that, in which case God also hates shell-fish eating practice.

My point is that salesmanship and knowing your audience biases interpretation here. (My wider point is that nobody in fact gets their morals from "what the Bible says", as that phrase is loaded with evangelical cultural assumptions, but that's something you'll find me saying elsewhere).
