Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?


Pete Buttigieg responded to 'Remember Sodom and Gomorrah' heckler with 'My soul is in the hands of God.' Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a 2020 democratic candidate for president, responds to a heckler at his rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, April 16, 2019.

Buttigieg is an Episcopalian. He is also married to Chasten.

Last Sunday, the Old Testament included the reading from Genesis of Abraham bargaining with God over the fate of Sodom.

Often, Sodom & Gomorrah is used as a warning to LGBT persons as what happens to such sinners.

But what is the sin of Sodom? Do we really remember the event correctly?
