The aspect of holiness makes any impurity a disqualification.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Is 64:6)
There is no grade, only what is Him and what is not.

Rom 2:1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Rom 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
Rom 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
I'm generally pretty accepting of other peoples' views, regardless of whether I actually agree with them or not, but the idea that all sins are equal is, in my opinion, both stupid and rather disturbing. Anyone who would equate stealing a sweet from a pick and mix stand with genociding six million Jews is frankly a pretty worrying case. I'm not saying that stealing a sweet is okay because it obviously isn't however putting a petty shoplifter in the same basket as the likes of Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot is beyond a joke.
It's relative. And there is only one that is unforgivable. So when you say equal...you are setting parameters on it so that it can be guaged equal or unequal.

We're talking about two different things. My point is "there's none good but God."
