The Bible has some pretty famous stories, and one of them is about two cities called Sodom and Gomorrah. These cities were destroyed by God, and for a long time, people have tried to figure out exactly why. The word “sodomy” in the Bible comes from this story, and many people think it means just one thing. But it’s a little more complicated than that.

In this article, we’re going to explain what “sodomy” means in the Bible, where the word came from, and why it’s such a big deal. We’ll go through the story of Sodom and Gomorrah step-by-step, look at different opinions on what the “sin” of Sodom was, and see why people still talk about it today.

If you’ve ever wondered what this story is really about, we’ll break it down in simple terms.
