Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Seems pretty clear cut to me. It's a sexual act that is condemned. Meaning it is immoral.
But hey, since you want to insist on it, who was the last gay man you stoned?

See above. The actual Hebrew word is simply about ritual uncleanness, and is used to describe wearing blended cloth (are all your shirt 100 percent cotton?), eating shellfish, bacon, etc..

no. Just because the word abomination is used in both cases doesn't mean that both are "ritual purity" - that's one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard. Abomination means something that causes disgust. God can be disgusted by something immoral or impure. And a sexual act is a moral act. It falls under sexual morality/immorality.
He ignored my post 165 already, and blithely ploughs on with the same argument.

The same word תּוֹעֵבַה -abomination is used for eating unclean food or for what the Egyptians think of shepherds!.
It is also used for such activities as adultery (Ezekiel 22:11) and idolatry (Deut 7:26; Deut 13:13) including blood sacrifices to Moloch (Jer 32:35).. Or a wicked person's sacrificial offering (Proverbs 21:27) - all of which also violate the provisions of the New Covenant. In short, תּוֹעֵבַה can be used for just about any activity that offends God.
Of course "sacrificial offerings" are not the same in the New Covenant as they were in the Old.
Hopefully you will get the message through.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
