The Bible states that homosexuals do not go to heaven, in a variety of ways and passages.

The Bible does not state that directly. One can make a case for that, but I think we are better off leaving that up for Jesus to decide. It is clearly a sin, in both new and old testaments, but I really don't want to decide what the limits on God's grace are.

The Bible could not be more clear on this, and Jesus has aleady decided:

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ( 1 Corinthians 6:9,10)

Just so no one deceives themselves - the Bible, inspired and written by the living God, has stated more than directly in more than a few places in Scripture that practicing, unrepentant homosexuals will not see heaven.

It is beyond doubt.
