Brother, that verse in Ezekiel is not about the Sodom in Genesis, but is a derogatory term for Jerusalem.
So, "Jerusalem's" sin was "pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idlness...".
Go back to the beginning of the chapter. See how God refers to "thy sister Sodom"? It goes back to Jerusalem and Samaria. It's quite clear, if the whole chapter is taken as one whole unit, and not dissected for proof-texts.
