Yes. That is one reason why I think you have to follow the old testiment laws. There are some changes made in the new testiment like sacrificing things, you don't need to do that anymore, but you can't say gay sex is bad and then go eat anything you want when they're in the same book.

The biblical allegory: law = lie
Real man doesn't lie(law) any man,
nor does a man law a woman either
John 3:17... John 5:45... John 8:3-11

When God laid down the 613 commandments that comprise the Law He was doing so to set a line for people to live by. These are the things that God feels set His children apart from the heathens of the world.
My only fear is that if we accept the teaching that these Laws no longer apply, then we must also accept the fact that God changed His mind.
Now think of John 3:16 and wonder, could He change His mind again?
Also Christ Himself said," I did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill it."
The purpose of the Law was to offer reconciliation between man and God.
That reconciliation is now offered by the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Does that mean the Law is not still there???

All bible passages are valid. The bible says that NOT ONE DOT SHALL BE REMOVED.
I think what you're really asking is "so...eh can we eat those things?" The answer is...."in grace..you may". Cos in the book of Acts, the apostles clearly said that there are 3 things that should bound a 'gentile' christian. And these are eating food offered to idols, taking of blood and fornication.
So, yes all applies...in CHRIST.

The Bible will ALWAYS apply, and nobody can add or take away from it.
Yes, that verse still applies. Yes, homosexuality is still a sin and always will be because God said so.

All passages of the Bible are relevant today and always. GOD does not change and therefore His Word doesn't either.
The good news is that HE loves those you are referring to and offers them the same hope as the rest of us. But, keep in mind that HE is in control and HE makes the rules. HE does not allow us to decide which ones we want to follow.

22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable
This verse is telling you not to commit homosexual acts. Homosexuality is a sin and against God.
When coming into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we crucifiy the sinful passions. Trying the best we can not to fail even though we do fail because of the internally corrupt sinful nature. God does require repentance as a way of saying thank you back to God for saving us through his Son Jesus Christ on the cross.

No, I don't believe it is an abomination. The mere fact that it is in the bible is a clear indication that homeosexuality has always been here. It couldn't be stopped then and will not stop now.
God made man in his own image.
