" Each sin does vary in degree however; murder being on the most severe and grievous end of the spectrum, vanity (let's say) being on the the less severe end. Now just because we all sin doesn't mean we should accept sin, but we should still love the sinner. We all need to try to do better and be better, and we shouldn't have to allow sins to be legalized or pretend they aren't sins in order to justify our own choices or the choices of other's.
I know a lot of people think that if society changes, so does right
and wrong, but I'm going to have to disagree. We don't tell God what we
want to be considered a sin or not. We don't get to say, "Excuse me,
God, I know this is currently considered a sin, but it no longer suits
me to have it be a sin, I like it too much and I won't give it up. This
other sin too, it more convenient for you to allow me to do it without
recourse, so let's change this one too." Nope, God sets the rules and
commandments, for our own good mind you, and we are expected to follow
what He says. We follow God, God doesn't follow us.
So... yes, sorry if it offends you, but that means we still believe
that things like homosexuality and abortion (among other things) are
sins and are not to just be an accepted thing. I know that society says
it's okay, but God doesn't and He's the boss. Now before you light
that torch and sharpen the ol' pitchfork, keep this in mind; never has
the church and its leaders condoned anything but love for those who sin,
even the big sins. It is not intolerance, it is not hatred, we still
love those people, we just don't love the sin.

I love how Audrey wrote that ^^
With that being said, we all sin differently but instead of rationalizing our sin, we all need to recognize it and try better.
