God burned to death the entire populations of two cities over homosexuality. Did he do anything similar to "gossips"?
I take what he did to Sodom and Gomorrah as an indication of how seriously he regards such sins as theirs.
If you don’t want to go because you don’t believe in gay marriage, fine. But you will be dying on that little hill. The rest of your family will not think kindly of you. But you don’t care, probably.
Homosexuality is not the worst sin. We have to be careful not to rank sins by how yucky they are to us. Having sex with someone of your sex is much less of a sin than gossip, in the Bible, and you probably have been to the marriage of someone who gossips.
But I haven’t seen anyone trying to force others, in the political arena, to celebrate lying, adultery, gossip, etc.
And God Himself calls homosexuality (along with some other sins) an abomination. I’m not going to try to soft-pedal what God Himself says.

Yaelle, you always ignore my posts to you, and I imagine you’ll do the same in this instance, but whatever.
“Dying on that little hill”.....”your family won’t think kindly of you.” There are some things even more important than family. I believe this is one of them...and I don’t think this hill is “little.” Far from it.
I might also ask, what kind of family do you have if they’re all willing to trash you because you won’t do something you see as morally wrong?
You can think what you like about the order of sins, but homosexuality is singled out over and over in Scripture as an abomination, detestable, etc. Is it really so surprising to you that a person wouldn’t want to celebrate such a thing?
And where on EARTH you got the idea that gossiping is worth than homosexuality, I have no idea. You pulled that one out of thin air.
