The Bible and Gay people.

FOREWARNING: This is more or less two posts in one (in a strange way).      Now some of my posts might be extremley controversial, which is understandable because everyone has their own view point. Now even this is a touchy subject for me. while some don't care, some do and I'm going to introduce it.
     Is it wrong to disagree with the Bible? I am dead serious, yes I just said that. I have been told flat out yes. Yes it is wrong to disagree with the Bible, because God wrote the Bible and it's what He gave us. Now don't get me wrong, they are true and have a point. But I tend to question a lot of questions, tough questions, that I will never know the answer to. Honestly you can't help but wonder about everything in the Bible.
     Now I'm not out to pick the Bible apart, I just want answers. Here is something that is stated in the Bible that i don't agree with. Gay people are bad. I've always liked them, and I love being around them. Not that I am one, I don't swing that way... Anyway, I had a conversation with a friend one time, and she showed me the points in the Bible where it clearly states that it's wrong. I just have a hard time grasping it though. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" is what I remember her saying... Now as a friend i value her opinion. Good insight and you should always stay open-minded to others, but like I said, I just can't wrap my mind around it.
     God created everyone special right? He would never turn His back on anyone right? So He wouldn't turn His back on these people right? Question, but no answer. Now I'm not trying to defy God by asking trick questions, I'm just confused.
      You say, "God didn't creat gay people just the person. Being gay is a sin, it's not good.
      I reply, "They feel forced into this position. They feel different like they don't belong."
      You say, "It doesn't matter it's still wrong."
      I reply, "Put yourself in their shoes, see what it's like to be mocked by people every single day just because they are different. They are special, and I'm sure God has something special in mind for them. He loves them too you know. It's not just us on this sad little planet."
      Like I stated earilier, I can't wrap my mind around the fact that they would go to hell for something that feels natural to them. I have a friend and he (not gonna mention a name cuz i don't wanna upset him or anything) was harassed all of middle school because he, being a guy, liked High School Musical. People made fun of him, told he was gay, and that he was a weirdo, a freak. I love him to death and I felt awful. I became really close friends with him, because I know what it's like to not have many friends cause your weird or something like that. Anyway, because people told him he was gay and that he wasn't normal, he became bi. He believed eveything they told him and he felt like it was the only way out. I love him regardless and you can judge him if you want, but he's a good friend and always will be.
     I can't come to terms with that one small thing in the Bible, and I don't know if I should feel bad or if I should feel bad at all. Disagreeing with the Bible is a big thing, because supposedly your going aginst God and I would never do that. But again (and yes, i do keep restaing this) I just can't wrap my mind around it... No man left behind right?

I'm so lost at this point and I can't speak for God.
So why should you?
