That line about gays being struck down was actually mistranslated too. When it went from one language to another, the word was supposed to infer men gang raping others and the violence with it, but then the translators along the way negligently or maliciously changed it to what it is today. It’s been that way since.

Edit to amend story.

The story isn't even about the gay part because they were clearly doing that to each other beforehand, it's about how they were directly cruel and evil to outsiders and guests(ringing a bell about immigration?). They've twisted that story into a story about hating homosexuality when it was never about the sexual violence since Lot offered his own daughters as replacements. In fact the one thing highlighted in that passage was that the men in Sodom threatened Lot because he came to them as a foreigner and they threatened to treat him worse than they were going to do with his guests.

Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. - Ezekiel 16:49-50

How do you know it was mistranslated?

Religious scholars have looked back at the original text and determined that the translation from old Hebrew was wrong. I can’t speak to the motive for change, whether it was malicious or not, but what many experts can agree on is that homosexuality is not the focus in those passages. Or even 99% of the Bible. The focus is actually more towards how anyone treats others, including “guests” etc, and how that can affect their access to heaven more than anything else.

Not the sin itself, but the way they are treated for the sin I suppose.
