The story of Lot--the men of the city went to Lots house to have sexual relations with his visitors( angels) they brought the young boys with them--Lot offered his two virgin daughters instead but they didn't want to take no for an answer.

Polygynous Marriage: Probably the most common form of marriage in the bible, it is where a man has more than one wife.

Levirate Marriage: When a woman was widowed without a son, it became the responsibility of the brother-in-law or a close male relative to take her in and impregnate her. If the resulting child was a son, he would be considered the heir of her late husband. See Ruth, and the story of Onan (Gen. 38:6-10).

A man, a woman and her property — a female slave: The famous “handmaiden” sketch, as preformed by Abraham (Gen. 16:1-6) and Jacob (Gen. 30:4-5).

A man, one or more wives, and some concubines: The definition of a concubine varies from culture to culture, but they tended to be live-in mistresses. Concubines were tied to their “husband,” but had a lower status than a wife. Their children were not usually heirs, so they were safe outlets for sex without risking the line of succession. To see how badly a concubine could be treated, see the famous story of the Levite and his concubine (Judges 19:1-30).

A male soldier and a female prisoner of war: Women could be taken as booty from a successful campaign and forced to become wives or concubines. Deuteronomy 21:11-14 describes the process.

A male rapist and his victim: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 describes how an unmarried woman who had been raped must marry her attacker.

A male and female slave: A female slave could be married to a male slave without consent, presumably to produce more slaves.

and of course …

Monogamous, heterosexual marriage: What you might think of as the standard form of marriage, provided you think of arranged marriages as the standard. Also remember that inter-faith or cross-ethnic marriage were forbidden for large chunks of biblical history.

Well, as we see from the above, "wicked behavior" and "fornication" appear to be somewhat subjective terms.
Notice in every instance it was a man and a woman or shall we say opposite sex activities. Not man/man or woman/woman. Simple.

True. And don't let us forget that a man could have as many wives as he could afford since polygamy was quite okay with "God". The facts are, of course, that women were the property of the man and this is even reflected in the Ten Commandments regarding 'coveting'. Women were not as important as the male's home but were a little more important than his cattle. The women appear to have been pretty much 'baby making machines' and they knew their subordinate role within a marriage. A male and a male would not even have been on the radar in those days since one male did not own another male unless that male was a slave. I don't know if you've noticed but we are NOT living in those days. Simple.

Have you not read the rest of this thread that has already addressed what you state above? Let me ask you a question. Why do you think that the residents of Sodom wanted to inflict violence on Lot's guests?
