If This Is Your Take Away From Sodom and Gomorrah, I Think You Are Deeply Disturbed.
I keep seeing Genesis 19 be used as a way to justify homophobia in the religion and I think it is deeply disturbing. If you are on this subreddit you likely already know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, but it's about two angels who come to a town full of sin and are trying to find good in it before it is destroyed. In the story, when they are sheltered by a resident of the town, Lot (who himself is morally gray at best), a group of locals come and demand they give them up so they can have sex with them. When Lot refuses they try and beat him and storm their way inside his home.
People will genuinely look at this story, read it multiple times over, and tell you the take away is that homosexuality is bad. Let me repeat that. People will read a story about a group of men violently trying to rape people and willing to beat a man and break into his home over it, and they will tell you that since it is a man raping another man that the take away is that homosexuality is wrong. I think it is a perfect example of how some "Christians" will use The Bible as a shield for their own bigotry.
