It's okay to tell him that lots of Christians think that God makes people gay because he likes them that way, and to direct him to the web sites about other ways to interpret those passages of the Bible (there's a good one right here at Soulfource, iirc). I would leave out the 'your church is a cult' part, because it's not likely to be well received; he may well get there on his own.
It took me a long time before I was able to let go of my self-hatred, planted by an extremely fundamentalist church group. But if you plant a seed of love and acceptance, it may grow in ways you don't see right away.
