The story of Sodom and Gomorrah in The Bible is often interpreted as a tale about the cities' wickedness and lack of hospitality rather than solely about homosexuality. The narrative illustrates the consequences of disobedience to God and disregard for moral behavior. It is crucial to understand the context and various interpretations of the story within biblical scholarship.
Sodom and Gomorrah is the first mention of homosexuality in the Bible, but it is likely that it existed before then.
The people of Sodom and Gomorrah only had pure evil in their hearts, and lusted after "strange flesh". Not limited to just homosexuality, but also bestiality, necrophilia, gang rape of both sexes etc.. Virtually anything that's totally disgusting from a sexual point of view, without remorse.

Christian AnswerYes. It is considered that this was the chief sin (although not the only one) of Sodom and Gomorrah which God destroyed with 'fire and brimstone.'Jewish AnswerNo. There is no mention of anything to do with homosexuality in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (This is purely Christian and Muslim interpretation), and in Jewish oral tradition, going back thousands of years, says that no one was ever put to death for certain sins, including homosexuality.
There is not a single person, but the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, which according to Christian interpretation, God destroyed because homosexuality is an "abomination" to God (Jewish interpretation is completely different).
Some biblical scholars believe that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed around 1892 B.C.
