It's good to know that all we have to do is form a committee and our declarations are guaranteed to be error free...lol.
You are correct, the verse is stating that when you commit a sin (disbelief) that bad things™ will happen to you. Disbelief is well defined as sinful, homosexuality is not. It is perceived (in this very verse no less) as an effect of sinfulness.
I'm not interpreting, I'm repeating. Nevertheless, whether or not you accept scripture is irrelevant to me, I think it's all utter bullshit. I'm just reminding you that it is your own personal bias (and, apparently, the infallibility of tradition) not gods opinion which you are siding with here. Protestants are in error no more than yourself. Forgive me for proposing that if there were a god, and this god had teachings, it would be incumbent upon this god to decide what those teachings were, not your favorite book club. Oh ye of little faith.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
