Sodoma and Gomorra are two neighboor cities that according to the Bible were destriyed by God becuz of the sinners of the city. They were gays, prostitutes, bad persons. The Bible tells that only one man had a good soul. God was tired of the crimes in the cities and decided to destroy them. This men begged God to spare the cities. So God told him that if he could find a certain ammount (don't remember the nunber) of good people he would spare the city. The man had two daugters and the people from the cities tries to rape them and treatened the good guy to deliver his daughters or they were going to kill them. This man then gave up of trying to save the city and with God's help he manage to escape. But neither him, nor his daugthers should look back. One of his daughers looked and was transformed in a salt statue. Don't remeber the rest of the storie or if its totally corect, since I read it a bid long ago. But is sort of that. Then since the fall of those cities, the gay people are called sodomites
