Im pretty sure there is no mention of them being nuked because they were gay. There were a number of "sinful" practices listed for those citys among which sodomy may have been one, but I recall also wickedness, sexual relations with animals and general ungodliness being factors as well as a whole slew of things I cant recall at the moment [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just as a matter of speculation...my own that is. I think the only real reason (other than health issues) early Christians and Jews were against homosexuality was due to the reletive scarcity of humans. I think it all had to do with propogating the species, which homosexuality wether Lesbian or otherwise does absolutley nothing to promote. In those early times it was important to increase the population, and to increase the strength (manpower) of your tribe in order to preserve your genetic line.....just my musings there.
