→Sodom in Genesis
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. (Genesis 19:4, 5)

(Genesis 19:4, 5)
The entire population of the city - male and female - surrounded Lot's house. That mob had one thing in its collective mind. They wanted to rape the visitors, exactly as the men of Gilbeah would want to rape the Levite in [[Judges]]. To protect the angels, Lot offered his own two virgin daughters to take their place to do as they wished.<ref>Genesis 19:8</ref>

But they said, "Stand aside." It is clear that the men of Sodom wanted to have [[homosexuality|homosexual]] [[sex]] with Lot's guests.
Abraham had done everything he could to make the visitors welcome, even though he had never met them before. The people of Sodom wanted to take the visitors out of the comfort of Lot's care and they wanted to physically abuse them in the worst possible way.
