Yes, if Theonomists/Christian Reconstructionists were to take over society, homosexuals and adulterers will face execution. In fact, the following sins would become punishable by death:

•Murder (Exodus 21:12-14; Leviticus 24:17,21)
•Attacking or cursing a parent (Exodus 21:15,17)
•Disobedience to parents (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
•Kidnapping (Exodus 21:16)
•Failure to confine a dangerous animal, resulting in death (Exodus 21:28-29)
•Witchcraft and sorcery (Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 20:27, Deuteronomy 13:5, 1 Samuel 28:9)
•Human sacrifice (Leviticus 20:2-5)
•Sex with an animal (Exodus 22:19, Leviticus 20:16)
•Doing work on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14, 35:2, Numbers 15:32-36)
•Incest (Leviticus 18:6-18, 20:11-12,14,17,19-21)
•Adultery (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22)
•Homosexual acts (Leviticus 20:13)
•Prostitution by a priest's daughter (Leviticus 21:9)
•Blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14,16, 23)
•False prophecy (Deuteronomy 18:20)
•Perjury in capital cases (Deuteronomy 19:16-19)
•Refusing to obey a decision of a judge or priest (Deuteronomy 17:12)
•False claim of a woman's virginity at time of marriage (Deuteronomy 22:13-21)
•Sex between a woman pledged to be married and a man other than her betrothed (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)

I think this might be the case if we followed the OT instead of the NT

Most Theonomists rely heavily on the works of, Rousas John Rushdoony, a Calvinist philosopher who championed the reinstitution of OT law, namely as described in his book, Institutes of Biblical Law.

The NT alone doesn't propose a theonomist approach to the Kingdom. In the NT, the Kingdom is spiritual and permeates all earthly nations, being comprised of every ethnicity, kindred, people, and tongue until Christ returns.
