Genesis 19:4-4

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

We all know that to "know" someone means to have sex with them, right? A large conglomeration of people is colloquially known as a mob, and presumably Lot's house guests weren't up for it.

How exactly is summarizing these passages as a mob demanding that you give them your house guest to gang rape a "homophobic interpretation?"

Furthermore, what on earth are you even talking about? I'm "not doing too well" because I asked someone if they agreed with the Bible in that Lot's solution of offering his daughters to be gang-raped was a good, moral decision? Would YOU offer up your daughters to be raped by a horny mob? I know I certainly wouldn't.

Does thinking that offering up one's own children to be raped is immoral somehow make me homophobic, and if so, how are you defining homophobic for that to even make an iota of sense?

By the way, you know this happens again in Judges 19, right?
