where living in times of sodom and gomorrah
Homosexuals were always around, but it wasn't publicly acceptable/tolerable as it is today.
That's the misconception people make, as if modern times has brought on an increased rate of homosexuality.
Adjust for population growth, you have zero change.
One thing that can be criticized and attributed to modern times, is niche fetishes derived from affluence and self-absorbed economy/culture.
This can be clearly observed in porn, body modification, food choice/consumption, and other behavioural traits such as baseless sense of entitlement, lack of work ethic, and the rise of "mental illness", even though people living on minimum wage and barely scarping by in comparison to people of the past, is akin to kings vs starving sex slaves.
