As to hate the sin, love the sinner; I don't really see that happening in everyday life.  Let's just use pedophiles as an example because they are pretty much universally regarded as scum and we have had several threads regarding pedophiles.  Hate the sin, love the sinner is kinda like saying Jerry Sandusky is a great guy, love the guy; except for ass ***** scores of little boys.  The act is what makes Jerry Sandusky a POS.  I can't love someone like him.

As to divorce: God hates it, in my opinion as much as SSM, because he considers marriage a covenant between man, woman, and God. Jesus did once did give an "alibi" for immorality. 

As to love the sinner "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.". I'm not sure there is anything wrong with hating Evil and those that commit it. I don't consider SSM to be evil; therefore, I cannot hate the person. What Sandusky and other did was/is evil. If you can reconcile in your heart to hate that vessel; I see no issue with it. I think the rub comes in the fact that even he can be forgiven, just not by his words or deeds.
