The God of the Bible is an inclusive God. Look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. It says that not only the homosexuals are going to hell, the heterosexual sinners, such as fornicators and adulterers, are also going to hell. Not only sex offenders are going to hell. Drunkards are also going to hell. Same for idolaters and the rest on the list. But if this is not inclusive enough, the Bible says "for all have sinned (Romans 3:23)". So all are going to hell. All. Now you cannot be more inclusive than that.
So is there any way out? Yes! There is a way out. God has offered "salvation to all people (Titus 2:11)". This offer is to all, not to some exclusive people with special privileges. And "whosoever believeth in him should not perish (John 3:16)". Whosoever accepts this offer shall not perish. Whosoever - fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, idolaters, thieves, robbers, murderers (1 Corinthians 6:11). Very inclusive.
Or 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 effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NASB)
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23 CSB)
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. (Titus 2:11 NIV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)
And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11 ESV)
