The apostle Paul focused on it as a particular perverse manifestation of idolatry, though other sins are included.

But the reason for the focus on my part is because of the inordinate amount of labor that pro homosex polemicists have put into distorting Scripture for there ends, and thus it requires a respond. Heroin use is also bad, as is adultery, but i find few who write 500 page books seeking to justify it, while working to foist it upon all, from kindergarten up. It is because of such efforts that it attract more attention than “normal” sins.

Certainly must seek to obey Heb. 12:1,2, and all that is manifest as sin is to be avoided. However, you seem to have the idea this precludes focusing on homosexuality, which would be hypocritical.

But it is not necessarily hypocritical to judge sin, if one is repentant and seeking holiness, but it is one thing to seek to live up to Biblical holiness while confessing you come short it, as i do in its fullness, and another thing to manifestly alter the Bible so that it conforms to your standard of holiness.

The reason for my approach to first focus on sexual immorality vice homosexuality, is that many who have succombed to the tempation of homosexuality have been encouraged to scar their thinking to the point that they are arrogant and immediately react with a closed, veiled mind, when the Scriptural support is provided.

I agree that there is a more devious work at hand, considering the efforts over years to finance and rewrite the Bible in an attempt to counterfeit God’s system to achieve their desires.
