10 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:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray.

So far I haven't seen any protesters like the Fred Phelps clan at seafood festivals so I'm going with the bald eagle. Gay people have overcome the stigmata of abomination due to there abilities to accessorize, sing show tunes and do good hair.

The food laws which the Hebrews were to hold as "abominations" were not truly abominal in nature, for all animals were created by God. Instead, the title was predicatively assigned to those animals based on their non-Christ like features(i.e. no divided hooves for separation from the world, no non-cud chewers not symbolizing the redigestion of the word of God, no fins and scales for they overemphasize flesh,etc..). Such laws given in the shadow of Christ are rendered unnecessary when the reason for them is already in possession. Thus, for the Christian there no longer exists a reason to hold those animals in "abomination", that they might not be eaten. Homosexuality on the other hand, was never created by God; neither is there any evidence that it was called abominable solely on the basis of a lack in prophetic features.

Are we talking about a giant squid or the regular kind? If you mean regular squid, then I'm going with gay people. But we all know that bald gay people are even worse - you failed to mention that. So here's the order:
1. Bald gay people
2. Gay bald eagle
3. Gay people
4. Bald eagle
5. Squid

I think you are misunderstanding scripture. The passage you get this from is the Law of Moses which are dietary laws to separate the Israelites from the other nations around them. The eagle and other animals were not an abomination themselves but they were an abomination to eat. These are no longer laws that Christians are under because all things were made clean in Jesus. Now, that does not mean that there isn't anything such as sin anymore. Jesus tells us what are sins such as homosexuality. There also isn't a scale, simply put, a sin is a sin no matter what sin it is, Romans 6:23. We need to stop sinning no matter what sin it is, Hebrews 10:26-27, 1 John 1:5-6.

what's with god and baldness? he hates the bald eagles but will kill 42 children for making fun of a bald man??? I don't get it
I love how Christians like to nit-pick the bible for what to follow. it's clever and kind of funny.
