Lot was overruled by the angels, but in any sense, the Church has always considered homosexual acts the main sin of Sodom (not that there weren't others). I think we can also see it in Jude
I think the Vulgate translation is closer to fornication and strange flesh.
So we see for sure that they gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion, but we also see that "all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house." Even after Lot offered his virgin daughters, they refused. If they were just after rape, they would have quite simply taken his daughters.
Jude 7-8 Wrote:In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings.
