It's that love of self that prevents her from loving God and seeking Him above all other pleasures. (You and I have love of self issues that manifest in other ways.)
When she dies, God will not force her to spend eternity in His presence. Unfortunately, outside is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
But some prefer it.
So, it's not the nature of homosexuality that qualifies her for eternal hell, it's the fact that God says "if you loved me you wouldn't do that," that is the actual sin? Why the hell would any God, creator of all things in existence, have the time or interest to care about private, consensual sexual acts in any form?
I don't think I said that or implied it.
Homosexual acts are intrinsically evil. Evil in and of themselves.
Now, I personally think there will be homosexuals in heaven (and surely heterosexuals in hell), but it won't be because God overlooked their sex acts.
And why you asked? God is holy. We are called to be like Him. Homosexual acts preclude this.
