Homosexuality in Genesis

1. "And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him."
   What did Ham do? Did he just look at his naked father or was there something more to it than that? Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father, and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery. 9:24

2. This verse doesn't say what the Sodomites did to make them such exceedingly great sinners, though most bible believers equate "Sodomite" with homosexual. (But see Ezekiel 16:49, which claims the sins of Sodom were pride, gluttony, sloth, greed, and failure to help the poor.) 13:13

3. The two angels that visit Lot wash their feet, eat, and are sexually irresistible to Sodomites. 19:1-5

4. God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah. 19:4-5, 24-25

5. What did Sarah see? 21:9
