Oh, Puh-leez! God didn't say a word to Lot when he offered his daughters to be gang-raped in the normal, heterosexual, way to prevent his male guests from being violated in a homosexual manner.
The Bible story demonstrates that God intervened, saved the gentlemen, and saved the girls more or less as a by-product. We can see this because there is not a single Bible verse condemning Lot's choice, nor does Lot's lot become a study in suffering and downfall.
If God were that concerned with gang-rape, you think that He would have instructed Moses to pen at least one sentence to that effect in the Sodom and Gomorrah narrative. There isn't even a related clause.
And rape doesn't even make the top Ten Commandments.
For further proof pf this point, check out Judges 19. It's a very similar situation. An honored male visitor is threatened Very Directly by the homosexual agenda. The host offers his own virgin daughter and the guest's concubine hussy. God doesn't bother with a light and fire show--possibly because the male guest wasn't secretly angelic--by then, God doesn't need to step in. The gentlemen guest resolves the problem by throwing his concubine out to the crowd. Then he gets a good night's rest.
The story continues on with some other interesting details, but the concubine's bodily "integrity" is never the focus of the tale. The man's property is permanently damaged (the concubine is raped to death) and that creates a problem that requires more death. At the end of the narrative, the heterosexual needs of some of the male characters are attended to by the capture and sanctioned rape of a good number of other young women.
So, don't try to tell me that The Lord has a problem with rape per se while shrugging His shoulders regarding homosexuality. Any honest examination of the Bible as a cohesive document will dismiss that conclusion.
