It’s horrific to read the account that ALL of the men of the city, both young and old, surrounded Lot’s house. The depravity was thorough and entrenched indeed.

I agree, it is horrific. It is unclear all of the sins of the men of Sodom. Homosexuality certainly was one and should not be excused. However, the people were willing to threaten Lot because he stood in the way of their sinfulness. Also, we might remember Abraham refused to accept anything from the King of Sodom less he would say that it was he that made Abraham rich. So there must have been corruption and extortion going on as well.

It was always a mystery to me why Lot would have remained in that situation except by this time it seems he might have lost a lot of his wealth probably by the hands of the men of Sodom.
