Tell her if she is so religious and so righteous and so confident that God hates gays, her if God controls everything and that everything happens for a reason.
She'll obviously say yes.
Then say, "Well then God made me like this, so there is a reason that I like girls."
And then she'll be frustrated, and might make a comment, then cut her off and say,
"Why would God create sin, and make me like this, knowing I'm going to hell? Wouldn't that mean God intentionally wanted me to go to hell and live a life of sin? I thought God loved all his creations?'
Sooner or later she'll realize that the Bible was written in a completely different era and if God does exist, it wouldn't have such backward opinions on things that don't even matter.
If this is too extreme, just quote Jesus and Mohammad. Two key and intelligent and accepting prophets of the Judeo-Christian God. Though, focus more on Jesus since American Christians seem to kind of not like Mohammad for some odd reason.
that's brilliant, way better than my advice about calling her out on her food, clothes, and other habits that are against the Bible because this one is so strong
