What does homosexuality of other individuals have to do with your own personal salvation? After all, almost every major faith teaches that it is your own actions and beliefs that you will be held accountable for. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in reincarnation, nirvana, or the afterlife as described by Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, culpability starts and ends with the individual.
Besides the only way the sins of others can taint you is if you partake in that sin.

Gays (or anybody else for that matter) can't taint you. Only you can do that.
Will you go to heaven?
1. Only if there is a heaven.
2. Only if you have been judged qualified.
3. What are the qualifications? I don't know, but any god that I might believe in would include tolerance for others not like yourself.

There is no such thing as heaven. And y'know, lots of Christians understand that.
What I like to bring up to krischans like you is this:
Society in biblical times thought that lepers were evil and that the disease was a mark of evil. Jesus ate meals and cilled with these people.
And remember, according to your beliefs, you will be judged as a homosexual the same way you judge them.
So the real question that you should be asking yourself is this:
"Can I go to heaven with all the judgemenal hostility that I have toward this group of people?"

I thought it was the rednecks who sleep with their own family members. Can inbred rednecks go to heaven with their used condom in their sisters bed? If your family tree goes in a straight line, you might be a redneck.
If god will let people who screw their own parents into heaven than I'm sure there's room for gays. Which means you have a fighting chance after all.

no one is tainting you as long as you are a good person you will go to heaven.

If you are being 'tainted' by gays, I would question why they are getting to you. Maybe you are gay too. Why else would you be obssesed with them?

YES. IF YOU THINK THEY'RE EVIL , YOU PROBS DON'T KNOW ANY, so they're not 'tainting' you. People should be allowed to do what they want.

I think I read somewhere that the evil doers are the people that base judgement upon another.

Your neighbors' sins will have no effect on where you are going, but the sin of hatred in your heart may.
