Sodom was one of the cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Bible in an incident where tourists were homosexually raped by the locals in a crime of racism. The cities were destroyed by God as punishment. Some Christians took this to outlaw the act of genital penetration between men, called “sodomy”.
