So how can it be that in Sodom & Ghomorra, the guys there tried to rape them? I thought angels don't have sex organs... Also, if they tried to rape the angels, and angels don't have a gender (ambiguous), how can that be seen as homosexuality?
Care to explain?

Some traditions hold that angels are without gender, but this is not universally agreed. If you take the "sons of God" of Genesis 6 to be angels, then at least some angels are male and are capable of mating with human females.
The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. ... The sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. -- Gen.6:2, 4
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation ... giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh.... -- Jude 6-7
And there came two angels to Sodom. ... And they turned in unto him, and entered into his house. ... The men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. -- Gen.19:1-4
Then again, some Christian testament writers took a different view.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. Mark.12:25

Angels are always referred to as male. There is no scripture that indicates they can or can not have sex. Some try to use the passage in Genesis 6:2 to prove that angels married women. They interpret "sons of God" to be angels. This reference more probably means the sons of God through the line of Seth.
Angels do have gender-male. Whether or not they have normal bodily functions like a human is unknown. They always 'appear' as men. So any attempt by men to have sex with them would be seen as homosexuality. The fact that they were not allowed to complete their plans does not mean they were not homosexual.

Angels do have genders, just like God. God is the Heavenly Father...not Father/Mother. He made us all, angels and humans alike, in His image. Therefore, if any of us are gender-specific, then we all are.
Some of the fallen angels created human bodies for themselves because they were attracted to the women on Earth. They had children with those women, and the children were the giants spoken of in the Bible. Goliath was the begotten son of a fallen angel.

Angels have resurrected bodies just like us. They have lived a life on earth. Those are the only angels allowed to come down.
Spirits are without bodies.

no person knows of for optimistic if being gay is organic. there is evidence to recommend that biology could play a factor, despite the fact that it extremely is now no longer conclusive. some human beings are greater probable to be alcoholic according to se consequently of biology despite the fact that does no longer propose that individual would be an alcoholic. on your preliminary question, many people will say gay persons can be Christian, despite the fact that that may no longer how Christians act in terms of homosexuality (of course till you're a church chief). They behave as though homosexuality is in all threat the main vile lifestyle there may well be. maximum Christians have a efficient opinion approximately homosexuality despite the fact that do no longer teach the equivalent enthusiasm in direction of teenager molestation and homicide. it extremely is unusual to me that a gay individual must be a Christian. i do no longer understand why people could join some factor that rejects them by utilising indoctrination.

Angels are spiritual creatures of pure energy with intelligence and free will. When they manifest themselves, they manifest themselves as male or female depending on their purpose.
I can only assume that at Sodom/Gomorrah they appeared as 'beautiful young men.' Why? I can't answer that one.
