I don't need to protest divorce because it is not being paraded with pride and shoved down our throats as normal nor is it forced on our children as acceptable.

No, it's just accepted as a part of our society. Nobody's surprised or shocked to hear that someone is divorced as if it's a rare occurrence.
Furthermore you really need to stop using the Mosaic law as your argument. It was 613 mosaic laws written for the Jews which were to be separate and holy before The Lord and disease free and cholesterol free, ie shellfish.
Then you need to stop using Levitical law as your argument that homosexuality is an abomination.
A large percentage of movie and TV series protagonists are divorced, so much so that it is almost a chliché by now. But have one movie show a gay character who isn't portrayed as a depraved pervert and/or isn't dead by the end of the story and you guys throw a fit.
We are under the Moral Law of Christ which is all repeated in the New Testament.
OK, then let's follow everything Jesus said specifically about homosexually. What was that again?
@Kuno
I think it was "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
I didn't know "thou shalt not eat cholesterol" was on the list. But of course you realize that religion is optional. Those commandments all start with "thou", in other words, they are aimed at the READER. It doesn't lay down any law at all for the non-believers. Go away, jenny, and stay home when they next have a pride parade. It's unbecoming of you to stand on the sidewalk waving signs and screeching like a banshee.
Chapter and verse where Jesus speaks against homosexuality, please.
'Red tides' probably tainted some clams, whelks, etc. Eels, dolphins, and many other things "without fins or scales" were included in the prohibition.

Tell that to the guy who said "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Oh yes, the "food ethics". Indeed, desert can be a prett bad place to eat shellfish, other than than pork is hardly the most contagious meat there is and as for cholesterol levels, any person with a bit of brain left would`ve asked which parts are we talking about here, I`m no expert in the field but somehow I KNOW beef can be as fat and as bad for you as any pork chops.
@Skidie:
I always assumed the ban on pork was because of how easily it can be infected with Trichinella which pigs are more prone to than cattle or sheep. But I never could be bothered to actually confirm that.
@Dr. Razark:
Ah, so one of the lesser known ones.
“I don't need to protest divorce because it is not being paraded with pride and shoved down our throats as normal nor is it forced on our children as acceptable.”
It IS normalized, despite the commandments, you just accept it. Standing on a ‘law’ from a document you largely ignore is not a good argument, either, you flaming hypocrite.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
