And so on, and so on. The papers are filled with ever-increasing acts of homosexuality not just making a place for itself, but working hard at destroying any and every lifestyle against it.
We don't have to look very far to see how God feel about such.

Lot was living in the city of Sodom. Abraham was told by God that Sodom was to be destroyed "....because their sin is very grievous...." (Gen. 18:20)
God decided to rescue Lot from the imminent destruction. He sent two angels to warn Lot and his family to leave. Lot didn't want to leave that night, but asked that they wait until the morning to leave. The angels agreed, and prepared to spend the night on the street, but Lot entreated them to stay in the house.
Then came the crowd....

"But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Gen. 19:4-5
Gen. 19:4-5
All these men came, on the prowl. They had only one thought on their minds. They wanted to have sex (voluntary or rape...either would work for them) with these out-of-towners. And they had no intention of taking "no" for an answer.
Now, it is a good idea to point out two things here. First, homosexuality is NOT acceptable in the eyes of God. Why? Because, He created sex to be a function between a man and a woman that were joined (married) for the purpose of creating new lives and for the intimate pleasure of the husband and wife. Homosexuality is 100% counter to God's plan in every aspect. Second, these men weren't just after the sex for the sex. They were after the power and control that is part of crime of rape. They wanted to use their power, hatred, lust...anything that was in them at the time...to fulfill their flesh-based lusts. This too, is against everything God has taught us.
Lot tried to talk them out of this horrible thing. He even offered up his two daughters to them. They wanted none of that.
The crowd started to press in on Lot. The angels pulled Lot back inside the house, and proceeded to blind the crowd, so they couldn't find the door.
How does this story end? Well, when Lot was safe, far from Sodom and Gomorrah....

"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."

Don't be fooled for a single moment. God is not mocked. Any country that so willingly accepts open, unrestrained sin will receive their due.
Sadly, the wrath that the nations of the world have earned is about to be delivered.
Maranatha!
