There are no dietary laws in Christianity, however, we are to abstain** from eating meat and to observe the days of fasting* established by the Church, i.e. Holy Days of Obligation and Fridays (Canon Law 1250). This is one of the Precepts of the Church and it has been established to guarantee for the faithful the indispensable minimum in the spirit of prayer, the sacramental life, moral commitment and growth in love of God and neighbor (Compendium of the CCC 2048).
Some erroneously believe that Vatican II did away with the Friday obligation, which is incorrect. They simply allowed for the possibility for the Faithful to abstain from some other thing, e.g. television, radio, beer, etc., instead of the meat as a form of penance.
*Fasting: as explained by the U.S. bishops means partaking of only one full meal. Some food (not equaling another full meal) is permitted at breakfast and around midday or in the evening-depending on when a person chooses to eat the main or full meal.
**Abstinence: forbids the use of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal fat.

What does the New American Standard translation of the Bible say about homosexuality?
There is very little said about homosexuality as such in either the Hebrew or Christian Scriptures.

Other passages where homosexual crimes are mentioned, such as the attempted homosexual attack against Lot's guests in Sodom, involve crimes of violence.
