If he’s going to make an argument that widespread hosexuality led to a decline in birth rates, I’d listen. But “God punished them because they were homosexuals” is not a legitimate argument from a historian.

I have not read the Professor’s entire thesis, however His point is that homosexuals are given over to a way of thinking that is not productive. A type of self destructive predatory hedonism that undermines civilization…

Romans 1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

gods have been a part of history since forever.

so the point of history and historians is not quite proper as argument.

So the real question is Who is God and what does He want?

Do not take this as a personal challenge of right and wrong, but one of reflection.
