I was to lazy to look it up in the Bible by myself, and I knew that one of the Crestians would provide me with a quote.
"Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly"
So if we are gay with moderation we're off the hook?

A moderate gay is one that has a life partner and does not take part in orgies.

Heb 13:4 "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10
"God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." Rom 1:24-28

That whole story was taken from the Sumerian tablets written long before any written bible. The story is much longer thaninthe bible and has a lot more information. It had nothing to do with being gay or evil. Men made that up to control people.

As it is written, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming...."
The Lord is merciful and overlooks many things...but we ought not take the patience of the Lord for granted, or assume it to mean the Lord is condoning our sins....

I find it hard to believe a whole city was gay, even San Francisco and Key west haven't managed to hit the 50% mark.

All sin will be punished. All sin is a blemish on your soul but fear not 1John 1:9 says that God is faithful and just to forgive of us our sins if we confess them-------meaning we are to repent of our sins ask Jesus into our hearts. Repent is to turn away from.

God is still a murderous genocidal maniac if the story is anything more than a fable...
