God gives them over to a “depraved mind” resulting in these sins:

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. -— Romans 1:28-32

Sin has the effect of twisting ones thinking so they will choose to do something even when they know the bad consequences. And, they will encourage the same mindlessness with others. They will work to suppress the truth that their bad actions will create; and drag as many others into their perversions with them.

Finally I will say, God has created what is the natural state of mankind’s existence. We call it Natural Law. We have a full attack on Natural Law by bullies with legal teams to tear down God’s design for mankind. Natural Law is the basis of our Constitution. That tells me that there are evil forces working to destroy our Constitution and are using man’s sinful nature like a battering ram to do so.

In Romans 1:18, 19 - there’s the special problem that is being addressed ...

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

Key in on ... “ ... who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” ... and also the fact that “God has shown it to them.”

AND THEREFORE ... as a result of THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE ... we see ...

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

In other words HOMOSEXUALITY IS THE JUDGEMENT, itself (in addition to being a sin).

That makes Homosexuality a unique sin - in which it is a JUDGEMENT ITSELF (in and of itself) in addition to being a sin.
