Be careful how you rank sin. Is it a greater sin for some sexually confused person to express himself than murder (retsach?) Is it a greater sin to bear false witness than to worship false gods? (like the UN?) Is it a greater sin to gossip than commit adultery? I believe that G-d detests all sin—but the sin of homosexuality makes it difficult for that person to turn towards G-d, because he is blinded. G-d talks about repentence as Tikkun (recognizing sin) and Tshuva-turning from that sin. We are all sinners and we need to hear the G-d of the Universe—so my prayer is rather than to condemn homosexuals, I ask that the Father give them the clarity to recognize that they have turned away and fallen short from the glory of G-d (as we all have)—not condemned by themselves, but they need to run towards our Father in all humility...

No ranking accept in human eyes, for God sin is sin.

And it separates us from Him.

I think you are the one who needs to be careful. You seem to be saying that since one cannot observe all 613, it's okay to observe none.

And there's a big difference, to me at least, between quietly failing to observe, and celebrating that failure.
