Well, first of all I don't necessarily believe in hell. I sorta believe in what my religion teaches us about what happens if we don't accept God. It's not that God punishes us and sends us to some fire pit to suffer and all that; it's more about us refusing his love for us his creation, and then being away from his love when we cease to exist. Sort of like refusing a boyfriend that loves you and you keep acting up and cheating on him and all that stuff then he just leaves you to be and then you realize you messed up and now you're alone and he's gone but you can't do anything about it. That agony of being without love is my interpretation of "hell" after existence.
Anyways, my religion doesn't tells us we're going to hell just because one is gay. Besides, no one is perfect so what matters is your overall relationship with God and what is true in your heart that counts.
