Your 'God's word' doesn't say anything about sex being the reason for the destruction of S+G
Genesis : 19 ….it says; Before they had gone to bed , all the men from every part of the city of Sodom- both young and old- surrounded the house. They called to Lot "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out so that we can have sex with them."...……...
In chapter 18 it says; Then the Lord said, the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know. The men turned away and went toward Sodom...
S&G is destroyed to move the plot forward. Lot and his family are left alone. Then the wife disobeys the angels by looking back and gets turned into a pillar of salt. That leaves Lot and his two daughters, who have sex with their drunken father while they are living in isolation in the mountains, all to demonstrate how the Ammonites and Moabites are descended from a couple of inbred bastards.

Whoa! There's some racy stuff in that collection of old pamphlets!
I'm fanning myself over here in an attempt to fend off the vapors.

I know. I started finding all the good stuff in the Bible when I was about 12 or 13. Sons of kings raping their half-sisters, a fine upstanding man going to a hooker only to find out the next day that she was his daughter-in-law, dude masturbating so that his dead brother's wife wouldn't get pregnant and his kids be attributed to the dead brother. All sorts of stuff, even better than the men's underwear section in the Sears catalog. But not quite as good as the magazines my older brother kept under his bed.
Take deep, cleansing breaths, TroutDude, and think about fishing.
Sodom and Gomorrah were places where sexual deviance was practiced in every way. Which you can see by how the two Angels who went to warn Lot were received there by the towns people.
Lot? Is that the same Lot who offered his virgin daughters to be raped rather than the "angels" being accosted? Yeah, that sounds like someone who has morals, doesn't it?

Yes, but the 'sin' of S+G was that they were haughty, inhospitable and uncaring.
Ezekiel 49-50, 'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.'
Can you point out where it mentions that the cities were destroyed because of sex?
S&G were destroyed because they were inhospitable to strangers. You can look it up.
Quite!
