No one knows what causes homosexuality, but I have learned through simple observation that some children have homosexual tendencies at a young age. Maybe they were abused? Maybe there was a chemical imbalance in the womb? At this point, no one knows for sure what the underlying cause is, but the point is that no matter what the cause we are to love the person.
Why do you think that condemning behavior or attitudes means not loving the person? Do you think when a parent disciplines a child for hurting his brother the parent doesn’t love the child? Or any other wrong behavior? In your view then Jesus didn’t love many people since he condemned plenty of behavior and attitudes. Suppose someone’s slitting their wrists, it’s not loving to tell them it’s wrong and try to stop them? Love means always telling people that it’s fine to kill themselves and others? Or walk off cliffs? Or engage in egregiously sinful behavior?
People do know what causes homosexuality. You may not, but experts do. If you want to know, you can read this thread with links:

Without any reputable evidence, the entertainment culture, uneducated media, and sexual activists have seduced today’s teenagers, in particular, to believe that people are born homosexual.
However, science has found no biological basis for homosexuality, bisexuality, or transsexuality.
Study after study has found the “LGBT” lifestyle to be unhealthy, with the highest rate of sexually-transmitted diseases, and higher cancer rates and earlier deaths.
While all people are worthy and valuable, the fact is people are not “born this way,” as a popular song insists.

Homosexuality is not innate; no biological origin

I did not say homosexuals were “born this way”. I said that no one knows.
“Do you think when a parent disciplines a child for hurting his brother the parent doesn’t love the child? Or any other wrong behavior?”
How do you propose disciplining homosexuals?
