Matthew 7:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

New King James Version (NKJV)

So...you are claiming that those who do not do the will of The Father are saved? The Scripture says otherwise. Or are you claiming that sodomy is the will of the Father?

Pay attention to whom Jesus is talking. He is talking here to the Jews who always said, "Lord, Lord" but as scripture says,

they [the Jews] have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Rom 10:2-4.

He is also technically still in the Old Covenant of the law which ended upon his death on the cross and resurrection which launched the New Covenant of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ which declares,

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Rom 10:13).
