The converstion turned to news items and our Godly view of this wicked world. Several people mentioned how that homosexuality was an "abomination in the eyes of God forever" and cited texts from Leviticus. Also, the pastor's wife pointed out the "abomination" of a woman wearing "that which pertaineth to the man."
Now, I look to the NT for understanding on these issues and am pretty conservative. But I just sat there quietly while the old man kept slurpping his oysters. We all shared boiled shrimp as a part of the meal. "Abominations forever?"

Ah yes the abominamble shrimp LOL
Few realize the abomination in
Deut 22:5 was the idoltry commited when they danced before their gods to seek their favor as they embarked on war.
In these rituals that the heathen nations around Israel performed, the woman would dress in the armaments and shields of their husbands and they asked the favor of their gods.
Moses in his writing was warning Israel not to partake in any kind of similiar going off to war ritual. Those that do so are an abgomination to God.
It was NEVER what they wore...it was they did (idoltrous worship) that was THE ABOMINATION.
