"Did not the prophet Ezekial say also about that Sodom was also destroyed, besides the homosexual sins?"

No. Ezekiel mentioned other sins but says Sodom was destroyed for the "abomination before me" they committed. The book of Jude further confirms it was the sexual sin (going after strange flesh) which caused God to destroy Sodom.

It was BOTH the sins of homosexuality and the neglect shown to the poor and needy.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. —Jude 1:7

Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. —Ezekiel 16:49-50
