Sodom & Gomorrah is not about homosexuality

Dan McCellan again goes to great lengths to explain that the bible doesn’t talk about homosexuality.  He first explains that the frame work of same sex attractions did not exist in the people’s worldview.  The social frame work for sex was not desire but power / authority over others with the penetrative man being the top of the hierarchy with the receiving person the woman was lower in status because she received the man as he penetrated her.   If a man penetrates another man the man doing the penatrator is emasculating and feminizing the man receiving the penetration, lowering that man’s status to the level of a woman.  In the culture of the time of the bible status as a man was paramount so to show dominance over another man they would rape them.  Simple.  He explains why they did not do to Lot’s daughters what they did to the Levite’s concubine.   He goes over the reasons that Genesis 19 is about males using dominance over the other.  He explains it a lot better than I can.  But the main thing to understand is it was not same sex orientation that was the issue it was one man dominating another by penetrating him, which caused a loss of status that was what they were trying to say was a sin.  In other words men don’t ruin the good thing we have going by making some men have a lower status or women will see we are not really so much better than them.  Hugs
