I am anything but an expert on the Bible but somewhere the Apostle Paul says something like “such will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven”. He is speaking of homosexuality.

I guess it could have been one of the other Apostles but I think it was Paul.

That is actually a very strong statement.

It’s Paul. The passage is 1 Corinthians 6:9-11-

That is why liberal Christians hate Paul! They singled him out for scorn because of his rejection of sexual sin. They know better. : )

He also said people that cheat on thier spouses, people who steal, people who get drunk, people who slander, along with the gay people.

Indeed, it is a very strong statement, but also a message of hope to those who read on to verse 11:

v11 And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

Christians are sometimes challenged as to why we so strongly oppose the normalization of homosexual behavior. After all, there are worse sins

No there isn’t.
God does not rate sin. Sin is sin. It is wrong. It has a cost. It has a cure.
