I've been wondering this for a long time. I've noticed most Christians seem to put homosexuality it's own bin of sin. Like they separate it from other sin and judge homosexuals accordingly. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something - if something in the bible says this sin is worse than any other sin. Am I wrong in thinking that homosexuality is no different than someone say with pornography addiction or who has trouble staying true to their spouses? Thanks for the responses.

I believe the OT does refer to it as an abomination. Not all sins get that label.
So yes, in some ways all sins are the same as they all end in the same result, but in another way God views some sins differently than others. Such as sexual sin is the only kind of sin against your own body. God making a distinction there.
Though I believe much of the singling out that takes place with homosexuality is because it is being force fed down our throats that we accept and support it or we are hateful homophobes who don't deserve to have an opinion. You are not allowed to just disagree, even if you are not being mean spirited or hateful.
You are also expected to teach your children (or the state will do it for you) that homosexuality is normal and acceptable, almost encouraged.
We we are told to celebrate when a homosexual comes out, as if it is such a brave and courageous thing.
So I believe much of this stems from homosexuals bring it on themselves. They have an agenda. They are forcing the issue. And therefore making the issue bigger in the minds of everyone.
Homosexuals and muslims have been around forever, but the reason people are now so focused on them is because they have started being more verbal and visible, and this is why there is so much attention given to these groups now, despite their being around so long.

The reason for the exception is because of proper marriage between one man and one woman, instigate by God since the beginning of time. Marriage between a man and woman is a parable of Christ and the Church, being the bride. See Ephesians 5:23-32
Homosexuality is the most clear degradation of the creation for good reason. Every sin have is punishment even though sin is sin. The ramifications are different however because of righteous judgment exacted by God. Homosexuality, and what it represents, totally annihilates the concepts of Christ and His bride being the true church. It's an abomination to the max and is a confirmation of a reprobate mind.
Ephesians 5:23-32
[SUP]23 [/SUP]For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[SUP]26 [/SUP]That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
[SUP]27 [/SUP]That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
[SUP]30 [/SUP]For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Romans 1:24-28
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.[SUP]26 [/SUP]For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
You really shouldn't need to question this because it is so plain in scripture. There have been several threads on homosexuality, and it has been explained in detail why this is such a repulsive action that is directly opposed to Christ Jesus, more than other sin because of the proper institution of marriage ordained by God for reasons to exemplify the Marriage of the Lamb to His bride.

In Ezekiel chapter 16, God tells Israel that her spiritual adulteries, fornications and whoredoms are more abominable than the abominations of Sodom. How many of these same spiritual adulteries, fornications and whoredoms are widely accepted today? That being said, there is a lot of truth in what you've written. The LGBT community definitely does have an agenda and they're quick to label anybody who is of a differing mindset than theirs. My complaint is that people don't resist other sexual sins such as adultery, whether literally occurring outwardly or inwardly occurring in the heart, and fornication which are more than commonplace anywhere near as much as they resist the homosexual agenda. The one is as abominable in God's sight as the other, but society, with much of the church included, has basically caved in where both adultery and fornication are concerned.
