I am quite in agreement that homosexual acts are sinful.

I just disagree that the Bible, the NT anyway, provides much support for the notion that they’re greatly more sinful than other types of sexual sin.

In my experience this is often because people feel much more comfortable denouncing sexual sins they haven’t participated in personally or aren’t tempted to engage in themselves.

I am not going to type all 9 times wherein the specific Sodom and Gomorrha are used... I will type the first time so one can get the idea.

Matthew 10:15 Verily I say unto you, (the you are the newly elected twelve of verse 2-4) It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Now of course the whole chapter 10 needs be read to get the fullness of the instruction given... But Christ left no doubt that Sodom and Gomorrha would yet again be practiced. So He forewarned the individual and the nations to expect their judgment to be greater than was the judgment on the first Sodom and Gomorrha.

It really does not matter what people are comfortable in denouncing, it is what the judgment promised to the participants and the onlookers that cheer, legislate, and make like evil is good and good is evil. They are going to get theirs. To say such things is politically and even religiously incorrect, regardless of the warning in advance.

I agree with you that no sin is greater than any other sin (at least in the eyes of God). Adultery, rampant in the body of Christ is sin that the Church has decided not to address. There will be accountability to God for this willful neglect to address this on-going and prolific sin.

I also believe that homosexuality is often seen as a more egregious sin because it is one in which the participants and supporters of it collectively seem to have no remorse, shame, or intention of admitting the sinfulness of it. I have yet to see an ‘Alcoholics Pride Parade’, or an ‘Adulterers United Convention’, or a ‘Larceny Association’...you get my drift? Yet ‘Gay Pride Parades’ are not only accepted but celebrated. If you've ever witnessed one, the degradation is visibly apparent.
