You can obey God in your private life without imposing your religious rules on others.
Except that as a Christian, I am called to promote Godliness and righteousness, and condemn wickedness and evil.
Homosexuality is/was a crime, punishable by death, not because society deemed it should be, but because God said so.
You believe homosexuals are deserving of death.
You must have missed my previous post.
Here, allow me to reshare where I get my beliefs from:
For this reason God gave them up to
vile passions. For even
their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.Likewise also
the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to
a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that
those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. - Romans 1:26-32

Guess what, Anna, that includes you too, because you approve of those who do the above.
So do countries that observe Sharia law.
And to that extent, they are just.
City of Man, City of God.

I'm not sure what you were going for here...
And if a Bible courtroom and a Sharia courtroom both administered death to homosexuals - they would be acting identically.
To the extent that men's laws reflect God's law, to that extent, men's laws are just.
