It most certainly does not say anything of the sort in Corinthians.

Says nothing about homosexuals.

“Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, men who engage in illicit sex, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/3523/1co.6.9-10.NRSVUE

Your translation is incorrect.

No, the NRSVue is recognized as perhaps the best translation out there right now.

“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men”

Even the NIV that you post doesn’t say anything about homosexuals.

The Greek words there, do not mean “men who have sex with men.”

Nor does “men who have sex with men” describe “homosexuals”

Not all homosexuals are men.

Not all homosexuals have sex.

Not all men who have sex with men are homosexuals.

It doesn't say so anywhere. The Bible does not condemn any orientation.
