"And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him." 9:24
What did Ham do? Did he just look at his naked father or was there something more to it than that? Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father, and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery.

"The men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." 13:13
This verse doesn't say what the Sodomites did to make them such exceedingly great sinners, though most bible believers equate "Sodomite" with homosexual. (But see Ezekiel 16:49, which claims the sins of Sodom were pride, gluttony, sloth, greed, and failure to help the poor.)
"There came two angels to Sodom." 19:1-5
The two angels that visit Lot wash their feet, eat, and are sexually irresistible to Sodomites.
"The men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young." 19:4
Every male in the city of Sodom wanted to have sex with Lots two angel viisitors.

"Onan ... spilled it on the ground ... And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.." 38:8-10
After God killed Er, Judah tells Onan to "go in unto thy brother's wife." But "Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and ... when he went in unto his brother's wife ... he spilled it on the ground.... And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; wherefore he slew him also." This lovely Bible story is seldom read in Sunday School, but it is the basis of many Christian doctrines, including the condemnation of masturbation, homosexuality, and birth control.
