Lev 11:10 KJV And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

But that does not diminish the fact that homsexuality is still an abomination. Some things WERE abomination in the old covenant, but distinctly said to not be forbidden in the new. But Romans 1 repeats the disdain of God for homosexuality in the new as well as the old covenant. There is quite a bit of difference between homosexuality and eating shellfish.
