All of those things are also "abominations" to God, but the only one Christians seem to focus on is the homosexuality thing.
Christians would reply by quoting by the New Testament, in particular Acts 15, where the council in Jerusalem who were essentially the successors to the Apostles Jesus commissioned, decided that gentile converts only need to following the laws outlined in this quite.
Quote:Therefore I have reached the decision that we should not trouble those Gentiles who are turning to God, but we should write to them to abstain only from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from whatever has been strangled and from blood.
Also if you read certain verses of the New Testament in a quite literal way, Homosexual acts are considered fornication.
