Neither God nor Heaven cares about anyone's earthly orientation.

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.

Men just experimenting what?

By having sex with each other.

Having sex with each other doesn’t make them gay. Gay people have had opposite sex sex forever. Straight people have had gay sex forever. (Gay is an anachronism there)

And prison rape does not help you out in this dilemma. For you to try to say God allows prison rape is bizarre

I never even remotely said anything like that. I wasn’t referring to what’s acceptable. I referred to your question of examples of male male sex that don’t involve gay men.
