Also, if your theory is that people are gay because they were abused/ not loved enough as a child, how does this justify hating on gay people/ saying that homosexuality is a sin. Whether it's something that's genetically predetermined or something that's developed as a result of childhood abuse, it's still something that's not the person's fault and not the person's choice.

Plenty of deemed sins are not the persons choice. A lot of people who commit violent crimes will have had rough childhoods, and very well may have little choice in the violent actions they take (obviously I'm not say homosexuality is as big of a sin as violent crimes, but hopefully you see my point). Things like envy, pride, gluttony are all sins but may also be considered 'not of the sinners choice' a fair amount of the time. I don't see why something which is not neccessarily of someones choosing cannot be considered sinful.
