Rick and I share the same views, however, he articulated it better than I tend to. Contrary to what some of you may think, I don't hate gays nor do I wish ill will towards them. I've stated that many times before and that's not going to change. As Christians, we're called to love all, but also have to call a sin a sin.

Isn't wearing clothes made by more than one type of fabric a sin according to the bible?

If you're living in the time the OT was written, yes. Thankfully, Levitical law isn't applicable since Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. He fulfilled the old law.
Matthew 5:17 NLT
“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.

What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the law, but did not abolish it? Are followers of Jesus today under the authority of the Law, or free from the Law?

On the contrary, more of you showing your utter lack of biblical knowledge and in the same breath, proving it's truth.
1 Corinthians 2:13-16 AMP
And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

So we don't have to follow any of the rules set up in the old testament?
Is there a new list of rules we have to follow in the new testament?

So which one is it? Because you have paraphrased Leviticus in past arguments.

The Bible also says that for a man or woman to be given to their desires/lusts for the same sex is an abomination(sin).

Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.
Also, this, in regards to the fabric:

Levitical law was separate in parts for the priests and for the common man, with priest specific law being just for them.
What I hear you asking in another way is, what was considered sin then still sin now. As I understand it, the fabric law pertained to the priesthood, but I could be mistaken. Homosexuality has always been sin, period.
To my statement being unsure, I'll research it to be sure as not to mislead.
