That is a very debatable question. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of the great amount of sin found in those cities. "But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD." Genesis 13:13 (NKJV) "For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." Genesis 19:13 (NKJV) And amongst all those sins we find that homosexuality was very popular in these cities. Genesis 19:5 " And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came with you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally." (NKJV)
