Homosexuality

Is homosexuality really the sin of Sodom?  It seems convenient to condemn a behavior that only a small percentage of the population engages in.  If you consider this a sin at all, you have to admit that the vast majority of the population is never tempted by it.  Ironically, we are all tempted to lie everyday, yet, we tend to hold figures in the OT who also lie as men and women of God who's behavior is justified by God to bring about His will.  CS Lewis refused to comment on homosexuality because he was never tempted by it and therefore could not empathize with that population.

Instead, I believe the point of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was the same as the rest of the OT - God is all-powerful.  Also, who is more guilty?  The mob of people that wanted to reduce the visitors to objects; Lot who tried to apply a human remedy by substituting his daughters for the objects; or the consumerism of our day, where we elevate the status of objects to the level of people?

As with all accounts of human behavior included in the OT, we benefit the most from using them to identify our own behavior, rather than to condemn others.
