"some here seem to be raising homosexuality to a higher level sin than murder."

4 Sins that cry out to Heaven for vengence

1) willful murder

“What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.” (Gn 4:10)

2) the sin of Sodom

Then the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me.”(Gn 18:20-21)

3) Defrauding a laborer of his wages

“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brethren or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns; you shall give him his hire on the day he earns it, before the sun goes down (for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it); lest he cry against you to the Lord, and it be a sin in you.”(Dt 24:14-15)

4) opression of widows and orphans

“You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. If you do afflict them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry.”(Ex 21-23)

No sin is acceptable to God.
