Go tell the average Christian how it's a sin to be gay and it's not a good thing to do. They'll totally agree with you. Now tell them, oh, another sin, like lying, and tell them that even the slightest lie is a big thing. If they agree, tell them they're being hypocritical because they've probably lied many times in their life. By this point they'll make up an excuse, how it's not always a bad thing or how it's not a big deal.

The truth is, all sins are just as bad as one another in God's eyes (see James 2:10). Ignoring this and making homosexuality a bigger sin just makes for less hypocritical Christians.

Yeah, that was so poorly worded, but my point still stands.

Surely you are right in that hypocrisy does happen quite frequent however, there are a lot of christians are who we call "sunday mormons" and that means in their everyday life they do not act like they have a faith but on sunday its time to be righteous. Now if you were to say you went up to a GOOD christian and did the same thing im quite sure you would have less of a hypocritical statement in response. Besides, doesnt the bible also say not to judge another because thats God's job? In that case, you do not know if they have repented of that sin or not and therefore you can not call them a hypocrite.

P.S. - Nice try but im sure not many people are going to agree with you that murder and other serious sins are just as big of a deal as swearing on accident.
