Adding "-ites" indicates a grouping.  Israelites are the group in cludint those of Israel. Sodomites refer to those from Sodom.  The Bible gave some indications of the dirty deeds the Sodomites engaged in.  The rest was attributed later.


It was always a societal issue.  It happened to be a religious one as well for some.  Much of the hebew law was directed at  what would be called public health matters today.  Sodomy presents public healthy issues today.  The epidemic of herpes is directly tied to anal sex.  HIV/AIDs as well.
