Sodomite. And effeminate.
There were women and children in Sodom. Paul was a misogynist. The book of Luke mentions Anna as a prophetess. Paul wouldn't have cottoned to a female prophet. Romans 8 is the secret of the spiritual en lieu of the natural, carnal.

Pedantry was the big issue. Men having sex with sexually immature boys

Following Hindu mythology, Indians knew transgenders as 'Shikhandi', after a brave warrior of Mahabharata siding with the Pandavas. He was a She before sex change. Shikhandi - Wikipedia
Buddhism, like Hinduism, believe that homosexuality and transgender is residual influence from previous incarnation as the opposite sex

This is something I brought up to a seminary student years ago. Sodom would not have been devoid of innocents. He did get miffed about it. Then he went on the typical apologetics song and dance routines.

We're not discussing love or attraction with Sodom. Rape is sadistic

"Sodomites" obviously got their name from the common practices of the city after which it was named.
The city's inhabitants wanted to "know" (in the Biblical sense) the men that had come into Lot's house.
They were going to enter Lot's house and gang rape those men, because God struck them blind.....hardly something he would have done to then just for being inhospitable. :shrug:

"Effeminate" had the distinction of a man wearing very soft clothing, like a woman.

The two Greek words in the Bible that refer to male homosexuals, portrays both the passive and the active parties.....IOW, one who sodomizes a male, and the other who submits to it. So the one submitting is equally guilty according to God's Law.

Temple prostitutes were forbidden in Israel, described as "catamites" or young boys kept for homosexual sex.

Its been around a very long time.....
