Thank you for your question, friend.
I have a couple of resources for you to read regarding this one, which comes up rather often.
Bible Answers: Who are our neighbors? Who are our brothers and sisters? Who are we to love?

Does that mean only if there not gay?

Short answer, yes. If you read the frequently asked question above...

Also being gay isn't a disease,

You are right. It is a lifestyle choice that God hates. It is in the New Testament as well as the Old. Homosexuality is not to be tolerated.
Quote:
its called falling in love with someone who happens to be of the same sex, I don't see why that should cause offence to anyone.

Honestly, I am not sure either, but it isn't up to me. God says it is an abomination, so I must too.

Please explain this because I don't understand. My philosphy is just be good to each other, be tolerent, friendly, loving, and no hate because hate is just plain ugly.

You were saying?
Psalm 139:19-24
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

If I don't like someone I just turn the other cheek and walk off. I dont need to demonise different communities.

I see. Do you do that when people are sitting on the railroad tracks with their music too loud while a train bears down on them? Do you just "turn the other cheek and walk away?"
Or do you walk up and warn them that they are about to die? What if they were doing something that could get them sent to eternal torture? Would you help them then?
