I would say that homosexuality combined with the attendant violence was the cause. S&G and the surrounding region were particularly affected by this behavior.

There were sins which are concomitant with and conducive to widespread, homosexual fornication, but the climatic sin culminating in judgment was sodomy, which is also seen in the parallel account of Judges 19.

See here http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Homosex_versus_the_Bible.html#19 by the grce of God.

Also,while prohomsex apologists argue that at best all this condemns is rape, versus "living, monogamous relations), yet the nature of treatment is never a factor in laws regarding illicit partners, and no manner of homosexual fornication is ever sanction, but it only condemned whereever it is manifestly dealt with, and with God only joing opposite genders in marriage, as the Lord Jesus Himself specified while on earth. (Mt. 19:4-6)

What God hath placed asunder, let no man join together.

But we all have sinned, and there is room at the cross for all who will repent and believe on the risen Lord Jesus to save them ion His account. But His sinless shed blood, thanks be to God.
