I think it might depend on the nature of the hatred, which I suspect varies on an individual basis. Does it come from a visceral disgust? Resentment/jealousy over our failure to conform to expectations? The simple aversion to that which is different? It could also be religiously motivated, although I think that's probably more of a justification for underlying prejudice. These are the big reasons I've encountered. I suspect nonconformity is the most basic one.
