And being homosexual is not a sin. One must engage in illicit sex for sin, not just gender identification.
HOMOSEXUAL" is NOT gender Identification.
"Male," "Female," are gender identifications.
"Male" with "Male" is Gender specific. Homosexual is Abomination identification; and God has IDENTIFIED Homosexuality as "Abomination." it was punishable by death to both parties. "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."[Lev 18:22] "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."[Lev 20:13]

Then adultery and fornication by heterosexuals, by your statistics, is at least twenty times more prevalent than homosexual sin.
When you consider there are approximately 4,ooo,ooo Homosexuals in a population of approximately 318.86 million (2014 Census); the significance of which is almost infinitesimal in scope. Using your figure of 20 times 4,000,000 comes to 80,000000, which is still only a small % of the population; and when you take out your 20 times, you get a very small %age of citizens who are Homosexual by population derivative.
It is not the number of Homosexuals that is the issue. It is the effect Homosexuals are having on the morals of the nation, and on the judges of the nation. When the Judges begin to justify such behavior, you know the nation will be called to answer to God's wrath.

Divorce and remarriage in the Church is even greater. But you suggest that these heterosexual sinners and divorcees, 98.2%, want the "old law back"? Condemning them to death by stoning? Are you sure of that number?
I said no such thing. I said that was the law then. And God still judges nations by His high moral standard; especially when it began as a Christian/Judeo civilization. As for "That number" - it is slightly less, because "that number" was based upon a census figure of 300,000,000. it has grown by 18.8%.
