I agree with Daniel that the only real classification of sin I find is that of a sexual nature being worse since it is done against our bodies. I think to classify homosexuality as "worse" than heterosexual fornication is taking liberty with scripture. The problem I see is how long is long enough to allow for repentance?
If a cohabitating or other practicing homosexual or heterosexual couple attends your church and has heard the truth of their sinfullness yet doesn't abandon their sin, how long is it ok to not disfellowship them? Two weeks, a month, two months?

I thought disfellowshipping was reserved for believers who returned to sin?
