Christ died for everyone who will repent and believe the Gospel. Only those who follow the gospel believe.
Then how do you reconcile this...
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10
Collectively that is exactly what the scriptures say. Of course it goes a lot deeper than Homosexual behavior which has been blatantly condemned by God. It goes as far as this scripture which means exactly what it says.
Luke 20
35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the messengers and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
You chose the scriptures you want and you twist it to mean what you believe. But the Bible says Jesus died for all. Yours and my sins were forgiven long not only before we repented but even before we were born.
Yes He died for all who will Love Him enough to do what He said.
Luke 6
46 "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

Let me introduce you to the elementary principals of Christ. These are the milk of the word of truth. If you don't know these you don't know the real Christ.
1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6 if they fall away, <a name="b"> to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
The elementary principals of Christ
1. ---- repentance from dead works
2. ---- faith toward God
3. ---- doctrine of baptisms
4. ---- doctrine of the laying on of hands
5. ---- doctrine of the resurrection of the dead
6. ---- doctrine of eternal judgment
Read the rest of that scripture if you think you can sin willfully.

That scripture says that in the end Christ's blood was shed for those who did what he said.
Your second statement is absolutely true.

Repenting means to 'turn away from', even God repented that He had created man just before the flood of Noah. Now man is perfect, and we all will sin, but we can follow Christs perfect example. So to repent, one must turn away from sin, and sin being a transgression of the law, means that you must abide by the law to NOT sin.

Sorry, it was lat when I posted that one, its supposed to say "Now man ISN"T perfect" instead of 'man is perfect', they obviously are diametrically opposed to the other.
Then you want to remain in sin. There is no salvation in believing in a false made up Jesus.
The Judgement of which the Lord has not been quiet about will come upon everyone starting at His church.
36 "For the Lord will judge His people And have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, And there is no one remaining, bond or free.
37 He will say: 'Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge?
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise and help you, And be your refuge.
39 'Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.
Not at all, it is the truth. The Lord has revealed the heart of every man in his word. You Know what is in the heart of a man by what proceeds out of their mouth. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Every Christian believes that what he or she believes is the truth but not everything that is believed is supported in the Bible.
That is why the Power of God accompanies the true believer as a witness on their behalf.
1 Corinthians 2
4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
John 19
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
