I disagree that homosexuality is not worse than other sins. Some sins are worse than others. It's simply a fact.

In Christ, of course, all sins can be forgiven. But that doesn't mean that each sin is equal in the extent of its damage, the immediacy of its destructiveness, or the subversiveness of its example.

Indeed. While all sins can be forgiven, some sins carry much greater consequences... and we are free to pay the consequences of our sins.

Well said. It's a popular saying that all sins are equal in gravity, but that is transparently false.

Insulting someone is not equal to physically assaulting them and that is not equal to murder. Anyone knows that.

Additionally, sometimes a sin may be engaged in due to past bad habits, bad association, temporary weakness of heart, or similar circumstances. OTOH, someone may purposely, repeatedly, shamelessly, commit sin. Those also cannot be compared.
