It didn't actually happen, ya know. But according to the BIBLE...
The reason for Sodom's destruction is made clear in Ezekiel 16:48-50. According to Ezekiel, the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness, being inhospitable, neglecting the needs of the poor, greed, and idolatry (the worshiping of idols).
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah was a warning against rape, inhospitality and xenophobia.

It was a very sinful place. In Genesis 19:1-29 the cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because the people were so wicked. The men of the city wanted to have sex with other men. So God's judgement on the city was to destroy it by raining down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Don't take my word for it, read it for yourself!

I have nothing to add, just want to add my support to Zero Cool's answer.
Actually, after reading the other posts, I do have something to add--
Those the people of Sodom wanted to rape were not men, btu they were either angels or some other sort of divine incarnations (read the verses that lead up the story). Lot offers them a woman to rape instead, which does not say much for his moral standing in our contemporary eyes, right? Anyway, this is more about ancient household codes of hospitality and xenophobia than hatin' on the gay people, as Zero Cool said...

It was destroyed because the inhabitants were *******. Why do I think that? The Bible says as much. Read what happened at Lot's house. YBIC
