The same thing that happens to everyone else. They go to heaven. God doesn't care about sexual preference. He made everything and everyone the way that they are supposed to be. He doesn't have a problem with it. It's people like Paul who do. Even Jesus never said a harsh word against them. Good day to you.

Actually, the Bible says nothing about gay marriage. The Bible says that men should not have sex with another man, so nothing about lesbians, and nothing about men marrying other men. And that's only if you believe that specific chapter, as it also discusses how men should be superior to women and tell them what they should be allowed to do. Now according to that chapter, in order to answer your question, if two gay guys have sex they supposedly sin and yes, end up in hell. Of course, if you ignore that chapter and the one about Sodom and Gomorrah, there really are no other chapters even establishing between gay relationships and straight relationships, so I personally believe they still go to Heaven and the authors of those two chapters (as almost every chapter in the BIble was written by a different person) were simply testosteronal gay men-fearing wife-beating bigots.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is not about Homosexuality, its about Hospitality and how the Angels (messengers) were abused at the hands of the peoples of the valley.
In those days (and still today in some areas) there is a custom of treating people wandering or lost in the desert "as family" a custom brought about for this reason: what if your parents, brother, sister or their families were out and got lost, would you not pray they were treated with kindness and generosity? Of course you would, even by enemies! And because of this "rule" even an enemy would treat them as family!!! They would feed them, cloth them if necessary, water their herd and water them, then when weather permitted give them the necessities they needed to make it home and point them on their way! This, even to the family of an enemy, all so they would know that their OWN would be safe in the same circumstances!
This was the curse of Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities. They treated everyone new as their personal playthings. Lot and his wife had lived there for 2 decades and were known by the people of the valley, so they were not considered new or of interest, neither we're their daughters. However, when 3 new males came to visit them, they were. Drunken villagers, inflamed by alcohol and lust sought them out, disrespecting the laws of the land by ignoring hospitality standards. They sought the ultimate crime, that of rape of those seeking shelter. NOTHING could be considered WORSE, not even death. After all, death would be release, where rape was an ultimate crime of the body. It had nothing to do with gay sex in general, just the abomination of the standards of the laws of those seeking shelter. An ultimate offense.
Even Lot offering his daughters (some believe this is TERRIBLE, but in fact, he was to be applauded, after all, it showed as a HOST of his guest, he cared for THEIR SAFETY AND THAT HE CONSIDERED the welfare of those in his HOME under the Safety of the Law to be Paramount. His daughters, who were his life, while he loved them MUCH MORE than he did the strangers were not under the protection of the law of visitors and therefore there violations or rapes would be "less" of an offense than the rape of those "in his care." Convoluted, I know, but that's how serious they took, "visitors."

Um, since I've never died to my knowledge, I can't know for sure, but I can tell you what I personally believes happens to them when they die, and I hope that this helps. I think that all Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people go to heaven when they die, assuming that they were an overall good person in the eyes of society, that is to say if they didn't commit rape, murder, robbery, or other harshly punishable crimes. I believe that all good people go to heaven, and I can't stand the people that say that being gay is wrong. If G-d didn't want gay people, he wouldn't have made them, so I'm sure they would make it to heaven if they made it to Earth.

There is no actual way of knowing this because nobody has come back from the dead yet. However, I do not believe that there is anything wrong with being gay/homosexual, and as a Christian I believe that they will be treated the same way as a heterosexual person in the afterlife.

Well, the TRUTH is that no one knows what happens to anyone when they die. People have historically made educated guesses about it (religion anyone?) but the only ones that truly know what happens to people when they die are, well, dead. I myself feel that one's sexual orientation doesn't determine their final destination, but whether or not they are a good person does.

Heaven is partitioned in 2 sections. Stupid and smart. Gays go to the smart section and dumb straights who can't spell lesbians go to the stupid section. They also have bible classes there so that you can make more accurate quotes. Have a nice day!!!!

Gays and lesbians go to Australia when they die??
Sign me up, it is a beautiful country.
If you meant the Christian "Hell" then I would disagree. I believe that all people will go to the same place, no matter what that place may be. We are all the same.

I would assume that gays and lesbians go to heaven just as much as anyone else can. Saying that gays and lesbians don't go to heaven is just as stupid as saying that Muslims, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus don't go to heaven because they don't believe in Christ. Have I gone to heaven and see these people rot in hell in glee? No, of course not.

well no one here can really tell you the "truth"
because none of us really know
I believe that homosexuals go to the exact same place that everyone else does. Where that may be, I'm not so sure.
