Finally, there’s nothing in this story about sexual orientation, same-sex relationships, or same-sex attraction. God does not condemn a city of gay men given to brunch, racquetball, and antiquing. He punishes a gang of men looking to rape. And rape is not about love, pleasure, or sexual preference. It’s about power. So remind your homophobe—if he thinks consensual same-sex relationships and gang rape are the same thing, he’s seriously dating the wrong guys.
