Further it is written, "9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Notice the list doesn't single out homosexual behavior. There are a variety of sinful behavior that disqualifies a person from the kingdom of God. The reason homosexuality is often vocally targeted by Christians is because society is seeking to [and now has] legalize it. If society wanted to legalize theft or extortion and I spoke against it, would you consider me a bigot towards thieves and extortionists?
Fornication is legal, as is idolatry, adultery, being effeminate, "abusers of themselves with mankind," coveting, drunkenness, and reviling. So you have not explained at all why homosexuality is what is so talked about.
The only things on the list that should be illegal are theft and extortion.
