 I just started watching a Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q_8sQ9kQeY that started with a lady who said she was an ordained minister who clearly does not know the Bible near as well as she thinks she does. Anyways, here is my response to her claim that the Bible does not talk about people going to Hell who are gay. 

1 Corinthians 6: 9–11 (NLT) 9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or PRACTICE homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. However, that being said ALL of us have a sin nature. Some are gay, some are adulterers, some are lovers of self, some are lovers of money and on and on. What matters is if we are saved. We all (myself included) have to turn from our sin nature and turn to Jesus who died so that we may have our sins forgiven. Luke 9:23 ESV (This is Jesus speaking) And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross DAILY and follow me. Romans 6:1-4 (NLT) Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. I put the word practice in caps simply to highlight that it is NOT the being gay that sends you to Hell. It is the continuing to practice it without turning to Jesus who is the only way to the Father.
