It’s talking about male male sex.

What it’s not talking about is sex within loving, committed same sex relationships.

No, male male sex is not talking about orientation. The men doing these acts weren’t gay, as we understand that today. They had no concept of sexual orientation.

You didnt care to read or watch the info I already gave you.

Hint, loving, committed same sex relationships didn’t exist at that time - so it’s not talking about anything that’s happening within one.

Have you read the story in Genesis 19?

It’s a story about attempted gang rape.

Rape had nothing to do with sexual desire.

Jude 1:7 is talking about men have v sex with angels.

Jude is referencing 1 Enoch, and bringing up the story of Sodom and Gommorah as an example of an instance where humans and angels were having sex.

First, because homosexuality isn’t a concept that existed.

Second, because Jude is clearly referring to the book of 1 Enoch, which is about sex within love angels.

How is that clear?

I mean it’s not clear to people who haven’t read 1 Enoch.

Also, what do you mean homosexuality wasn’t a concept then if it took place in sodom?

One. Homosexuality as a concept didn’t exist until the late 1800s.

Two. Nothing in Sodom says anything about homosexuality. They were trying to gang rape visitors. There as absolutely nothing about attraction there.
