Actually, the destruction of Sodom had more to do with the fact that the city was built on a fault line than the treatment of strangers. Other than that, cheers.

Though I have nothing against homosexuality, you are stating you (research) as fact? If you are, then you did not do a good job at that. "The Bible never condemns same sex marriage." You might be right. The bible however also condemns two men sleeping together.
Leviticus 18 vs. 22 " Do not lie with a man as one lies with a women that is detestable"
I don’t mind u question I am all for it for Christians should come to accept people for what God made them (accepting people as they are is in a fact what Christ would do) but pls don’t confuse people by suggest homosexuality is accepted by the the bible .
