Jesus never mentioned Michael Moore, but we know he is the prince of darkness.

An important point about the story of Sodom is that it has less to do with homosexuality than it does with attacking the vulnerable. (The citizens of Sodom wanted to rape Lot's guests.) Some suggest that this story is in part a warning about inhospitality in a time when travelers were vulnerable; supposedly every ancient culture told stories with a similar moral. This is perhaps the context when Jesus warns (in Matthew 10), Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Elsewhere in the scriptures we read (Ezekiel 16): "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."
