Appeal to Strawman. I've already demonstrated it. You are just in denial.

No, it isn't and no you have not.

It's not that the punishment is more severe, the sin is especially called out. You are desperate to draw moral equivalence where there is none.

Your Buddy said:
God judges LGBT behavior more harshly than even gluttony

I'm asking you HOW He JUDGES it more harshly?

Looks like you agree that He doesn't JUDGE it more harshly at all, does He?

I’ve explained this already. Asking again won’t help you understand. This is because your goal is not to understand but obfuscate.

Can you admit homosexuality is specifically called out as a reason people will not inherent the kingdom of God, yes or no?

Can you admit homosexuality is specifically called out as a reason people will not inherent the kingdom of God, yes or no?
No.

First, it's one of a long list, so "specifically" is a bit misleading:

1 Col 6:9: Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers, fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

Gal 5:19 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these

Second, Paul's use of "Kingdom of God" is almost always a reference to something that's present now. Particularly in 1 Cor 6:9 it's likely that Paul is actually telling people that if they do these things their church won't embody God's intent for it.

Third. This assumes that the word actually refers to homosexuality in general. There's a growing assessment that the two words refer to the active and passive roles. See e.g. the footnote in NIV: "The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts." You may be aware that in 1st Cent culture, typically free adults were only allowed to take the active role. That means that the other partner was a slave or a child. Hence this is a reference to what we would consider sexual abuse.
