Yes, God is Love. And Love is of God. Therefore, God is the God of Love. Love empowers that transformation. If you love another with the Love of God, you are on that path of transformation, whether you are gay, or straight, bi, or trans; tax-collector, prostitute, rich man, poor man, Samaritan, Greek, white, black, male, female, etc. You can be all of those, and enter into the kingdom of God, before the self-righteous, if you do the will of God, which is to Love.
The self-righteous who judges who gets to go to heaven or not, claiming they know somehow because of how they interpret scripture, are not on the path of love at all. They are on the path of self-glorification, apart from God.
