Here is how selective biblical interpretation works.
We all do it.
But, if your a "Christian" "conservative" you do it in spades, and even when it's pointed out to you, you still SWEAR you're not doing it. (This template for biblical credulity, establishing as absolute truth one's own self-chosen criteria is the same psycho-spiritual "mechanism" that causes "Christian" "conservatives" to be such gullible suckers. Just appeal to their biases, and you've got followers-for-life!
So... What was "The Sin Of Sodom?"
49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
Ezekiel 16:49
"Arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
