only the account of the visit of theangels to Sodom, where it was supposed to be proof that the great problem ofSodom was homosexuality, because the inhabitants of the city wanted to"know" (that may have sexual sense) to them. However, regardless ofwhether or not there is a taste for homosexual sex in the residents of Sodom,what is seen is an attempted rape, called by Lot and by themselves"evil."

It is sad to say that many Christian couples also practiceand think that it is not a sin, and that they are not committing any sin. Butsexual perversion is all that is contrary to the laws of nature and moral life.According to the Houaiss dictionary, the first time the term sodomy was usedwas in the 12th century, referring to anal intercourse and, by figuration, thehomosexual relationship [ii]. Spanish navigators report that the natives of theAntilles and Florida were 'sodomites', that is, on some occasions the sailorswitnessed male individuals practicing coitus, which seems uncontrollable insome cultures of pre-Columbian America. In the passage from the fifteenth tothe sixteenth century, in Italy, the Renaissance painter Giovanni Antonio Bazzi(1477-1549) "led a licentious and vile life; As he was always surroundedby beardless boys and girls, whom he liked in an unusual way. " Despitehis eccentric lifestyle - his home was full of exotic animals - and his obvioushomosexuality and pedophilia, Bazzi was a creative, religious-themed artist andworked successively for two popes, Julius II and Lion X. His nickname: IlSodoma . Sodom's identification with homosexuality (or at least certainpractices associated with it) became so strong that some versions of the Bibletranslated 1 Kings 15.12 as 'sodomites' to refer to those who practicedsanctuary prostitution ( The effeminates, according to the Vulgate) and weredriven out by King Asa. Even today there are traditionalist interpreters whoconsider the replacement of the term 'sodomites' by others more concerned withthe ritualistic character of this practice as a way of biblically legitimizinghomosexuality, cutting off its relation to the sin of Sodom. However, the wordtranslated 'sodomites' (both in the Old Testament and in the NT) bears noallusion to Sodom and therefore this is a reading from the seventeenth andeighteenth centuries and not a memory linking the sin of Sodom to the qedeshimof the temples . Some generations later, the same case of Sodom was repeated inGibeah, but among the children of Israel themselves (Judges 19: 12-30), andthis time the besiegers ('sons of Belial') accepted the woman, abused Her andended up killing her. This horrible crime ("What evil is this amongyou?") Provoked the wrath of all the tribes against Benjamin, almostexterminating that tribe. The sin of Sodom is not a mystery.
