No you will not go to hell. God loves all of His children, and since he is not a monster, he does not create people to watch them suffer -- though some Christian sects (any hyper-Calvanists for example) will assert that He does.
You are fine. If you have any internalized doubts, I commend the book: "Living in Sin? A bishop rethinks human sexuality" by the Right Reverend John Shelby Spong to you. There are other more scholarly works I can recommend if you would prefer.
As to the literalists (thankfully knowledgable theologians know that the Bible is holy only because of its place in the Church) -- I would commend "Our God Too" by Thomas Swicegood to you.
Kind thoughts,
Reynolds

Some are taught in church that Hell is a place of suffering where evil souls go and Heaven is where good people go.
This is not a bible teaching:
Did Abraham die and went to a ever-burning hell? Surely idol worshippers would not be in heaven. Yet, Abraham was with his forefathers, Scripture says.
Joshua 24:2 - "Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor; and they served other deities," Genesis 15:15. "And you shall go to your fathers".
King David was a righteous king he must of gone to heaven? NO?
Acts 2:34 - For David did not ascend into the heavens.
When Lazarus died Jesus spoke to Martha that he was in Heaven? NO?
John 11:11 - Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Besides Jesus there must of been some one righteous enough to go to heaven? NO?
John 3:13 - No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
When Jesus kingdom arrives he promised the good will go to heaven. NO?
Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Surely people who are holy as saints and priests will rule with Jesus in heaven? NO?
Revelation 5:10 - You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
finally, the second death (from Rev 21:8) is a location for bad people to suffer in a fiery place. NO?
Rev 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
-The Second death is a judgment not a location. Jesus is promising that those who are not wicked will be resurrected and never die again. (Rev 20:15)
Verdict: Death is Hell. It's the grave where we are like in a sleep like state but have no conscience thought. Waiting to be brought back to life if we have followed Jesus teachings.

You sound polyamarous which I might remind you is a choice. I'm bi to but I'm a monogamist. I don't have a problem with being poly just not letting you label that one on nature.

no i don't believe in hell ^_^ i'm an israeli jew. for us hell just mean bad karma. you do wrong to others and wrong will hit you back before you can say "ya ya". but we don't believe in the goatlike, red monster that tears up your toung for gossiping, throws in golden coins in your mouth so you can choke for being greedy...etc. it's nonsense for us.(sorry if i offended any christian)
+i do believe god is kind. ya in my torah it says that god punishes but i don't really believe he does. if lusting for the same sex really is a sin, then i believe god will forgive you because you didn't know. in my opinion he gives a chance to everyone, including murderers.
this is MY view! so deal with it! ^_^

If you're going to hell, I'll see you there along with all the other cheating pastors who said I'd go as well. I'll be the one grilling burgers.

How should any of us know if you're going to Hell? That's not our decision to make.
Telling people to "deal with it" when no one has accused you of anything is really immature, though.
EDIT: I'm not angry, kiddo. ;)
I'm just tired of people here being so confrontational.

" Go to hell" is swearing. I swear back on a bad day. On a good day, I tell people not to hate me.
Have good days.

we don't know if people will go to hell if they are gay/bi/lesbian. just believe in GOD and things will be alright.
