people always leave off the last verse from that passage. The sin that caused the destruction of Sodom was doing an ‘abomination”.
OK, here’s more of that passage, including the “abomination” you’re looking for:
Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me.
So I removed them, when I saw it. Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.
Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have intervened on behalf of your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

Maybe you’re thinking that “abmonations” are only sexual in nature, and that God doesn’t consider other sins to be “abominations”?
I’m not excusing sexual sin. I’m just saying that this passage appears to say that the sin of Sodom includes more than simply sexual sin.
