How come Sodom got a sex act named after it, but not Gamorrah?

Sodom and Gomorrah were "sister" cities but Sodom is the place were Lot lived and God sent the angels to deliver him from. The depravity was so bad in Sodom that Lot advised them that it was too dangerous to be on the streets. Once they went to Lot's house the men of the city went there to try and have sex with them. Even after the Lord struck them with blindness, they kept groping at the door. It was noted for sin.

I have often wondered this myself. There are many words derived from Sodom such as sodomy, sodomize, and sodomite but Gomorrah has nada.
Maybe I think too much about these things. Not that you should read too much into my idle thoughts.
Hey! How 'bout them Bears?!

Uh, that first guy is crazy.
The funny thing is, that whole story doesn't even mention homosexual sex. God was probably more concerned about the gang rape. "Sodomite" actually just refers to someone steeped in ill deeds. Our society just uses this story as an excuse for persecuting gays.

Wrong
Sod was a man not a city.
