Does true love exist ?

I am have an African background but been living in the states for years now . Just wondering and thinking Loud why do Africans have bad perceptions about gay people and think all gay people will go to hell . Last time I saw a documentary on gay in Africa country and how they were burnt alive . It was so pathetic and disheartening . Does god hate gay people as they say ? Please some one help me out here . I am African but Afriad to show up that am gay and I can't do that anytime I go back to for my charity work
