The biblical account of the assault on Lot’s household doesn’t even hint of such a thing... and it wouldn’t fit. That wasn’t their fling.
This is a modern ill of a West gone decadent. It is a tale of a shell gone empty, then refilled with an abomination, under the stewardship of a government that is sadly incompetent to handle even “ordinary” marriage.
To have the USSC do the maximally perverse thing here might be a boon in disguise for the churches. They KNOW they now can’t count on Caesar to be even a nominal custodian of marital love and decency. They will look to God instead, Who was waiting all the while for that moment.
I agree. They didn’t want to marry the strangers, they wanted to rape them.
Memo to self: Never try to rape an angel.
