Despicable me,

Sodom and Gamorrah have nothing to do with being gay.

It's a story on the importance of being hospitable to guests.

Isreal as a country was surrounded by much larger empires, and had 2 very lucrative trade routes (think toll roads) that it could collect taxes off of.

One of the ways Isreal survived as long as it did, as small as it was, was the people openly accepted and welcomed travelling strangers into their homes, fed them, and sent them on their way. This genereated a lot of good will, and was even codified into the scirpures on taking care of the Orphan, widow, poor, and the alien/stranger in the land.


THe same story takes palce, in Judges, when a visitor is killed, and all of Ireal goes and destroys the town....again same story, (no gay references either.)

The one time the prophets mention Sodom and Gamorrah later in scrupture they also say that the reason for the desctions was for its treatment of visitors.

Sodom and Gamoorah, was a story of a gentil community, who treated visitors poorly, and and its destuction serves as a warning/commentary of what will happen if the Hebrews treat the strangers in the same way.
