That is only true if you believe that Leviticus and Deuteronomy were originally written in King James English rather than Hebrew. There are two different Hebrew words that were both translated "abomination" by the King James Translators. The one used when speaking of eating "unclean" items such as shellfish or other dietary restrictions or the types of garments prohibited means "ceremonially unclean" or "unfit". The Hebrew word translated as "abomination" in the passages about incest, sodomy, bestiality, witchcraft, and idolatry is a different word that means "morally depraved" or "wicked".

Anytime you have equated the violation of the dietary prohibition of eating shellfish with carnal acts such as sodomy and bestiality in the past, you have done so perhaps out of naive ignorance. However, now that you have been informed of the truth, if you continue to claim that God said the same thing about eating shellfish as He does about sodomy, you do so as a LIAR, knowingly slandering the Almighty.
