"Even those you hate" is too strong a reading, in my view. "Even those you are bigoted towards", perhaps. (Jesus did say elsewhere to love your enemies, but I don't think this parable says that.)

I can love you and still disagree with the things you do and not endorse them. These are not in conflict.
