if a homosexual does not repent and turn from his sin of laying with other men, then no, they wont go to heaven.... it says in the bible (not just of gays, but all the sexually immoral)..."drunkards, nor the sexually immoral will inherit the kingdom of heaven without repentance and turning from thier evil ways." (not an exact quote)
and mrjixer... tell me why you thin all sin is the same?? i know that some people beilieve a sin, is a sin, is a sin, but based on the bible that is not true... if it were, why would GOD make make a list of the top 10 worst sins, and say, "these are the worst of sin" so that right there tells you that not all sin is thesame.... are you telling me that lyingis as bad as murdering an innocent life?? do you think because i drive over the speed limit(not obeying laws of the land) i am as bad off as someone who commits adultery?

Sure, there are many sins that people live with day to day and they still have the chance but first they must make themselves right with God.
There is no sin that will automatically keep you from entering heaven. Sin is sin in the eyes of god, so if you have ever been less than honest and didn't repent for that sin, you are the same as a murderer. If you've been disrespectful to your parents and do not repent, you are not allowed to enter his kingdom.
Jesus taught us to love all of our brothers and sisters, not just the ones that we agree with.

Philosophically:
Can a person who eats shrimp go to heaven?
From a more social-religious perspective:
"gay" means that a person has made a specific choice to exclude people based on their physical appearance from the possibility of an intimate relationship.
I believe that God does not like people who judge other people primarily on their physical appearance.
Homosexuality is against scripture, but, not against the ten commandments specifically and Christ, in the parable of the young man, that to get to heaven we had to do 12 things. Follow the ten commandments, love others as ourselves and give up everything to follow God.
Falling in love with a person is very different from deciding that you will only fall in love with a specific type of person.
Grace means accepting God's direction in your life and doing what God calls you to do.
PS:
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Romans 8
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 2
1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

No. Homosexuality is an abomination unto God according to scriptures in the book of Leviticus and the book of Romans. However, if a homosexual person truly repents of that lifestyle and turns away from it, God will forgive and allow them in.

Of Course a gay can go to heaven.
They are no more condemned than anybody else.
In the eyes of God, all sin is the same, in fact, the Bible says that if you offend (sin) in one area (of the Law), you've offended (sinned) in all areas of the Law. So all sin is equal in the eyes of God. And Jesus died for the homosexual sins just as much as he died for the hetersexuals sins.
A gay has to ask forgiveness for their sins just like anybody else, and they can go to heaven, just like anybody else.
The Bible says, "God is not willing that anyone should perish." which means that no one is condemned from the beginning, only after they die having chosen not to accept Christ as Lord.
Although people that continue to practice homosexuality with an unrepentant heart will die and go to hell, just like someone who practices any sin with an unrepentant heart will die and go to hell.

No.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says, " Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Romans 1:25-27 says, "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
No homosexual can go to heaven unless they repent of their sins, turn away from homosexuality, believe that Jesus Christ paid their debt of sin in full on the cross, accept Jesus into their lives, and live the rest of their lives for Him.

yes - the way to heaven is not built on action. there is nothing we can do to save ourselves - we are all sinners |Romans 3:23| but, in our faith in Jesus Christ saves each of us |Romans 6:23|.
when we find the grace God has given us, we can know that grace for other people - all people. whosoever: |John 3:16|
people can flash verses all day long, but read the Gospels... read of how Jesus went to the sinners and how He showed them love - God's love...whosoever.

Of course, if he lives a moral life. Suffering from a disorder doesn't condemn anyone. Immoral behavior does.
