Will there be homosexuals in heaven if homosexuality is a mental or physical disorder rather than a mixture of choice?
Not since 1957 has it been a mental or physical disorder. It is not a choice either.

Taking her friends' advice, Hooker devoted herself to the study of stable, occupationally successful homosexuals. In 1954, she received a grant from the National Institute for Mental Health, which led to a breakthrough study, published in 1957.
The experts concluded that the gay males were no worse, and sometimes better adjusted than the rest, and proved unable to identify correctly the gay male in each pair.
