I really have to wonder if the treatment of homosexuals in society has been cyclical throughout history, where it was tolerated for a while until the behavior got out of control and threatened the stability of civilization. We can see that there are many in that community who aren’t satisfied with merely coexisting or being tolerated, but want preferential treatment and an elimination of any criticism of their lifestyle choice. The trend seems to be going beyond acceptance and will force some sort of a confrontation with the majority of the population who are not homosexuals.
The queer's were literally trying to beat down Lot's door, demanding that Lot send those men (Angels) out, so they could "know" them.
Makes sense to me.
