The State of Israel was founded by Zionist Jews. They are not the real Jews whom God made a covenant with. Even most of them are atheist.

Disagree.

Sodom and Gomorrah were far more objectionable for other sins, if you want to count homosexuality as one. They wanted to do awful things to their guests - things no decent person, gay or not, would approve of - and had a list of other crimes that got them blighted from this earth. If it were simply homosexuality (something I don't consider to be a sin), then so many other places would've met the same fate. Hell, even those who consider it a sin don't believe that punishment fits "the crime" and would believe lesser things should happen to those people.

The Gay Pride Parades in Israel celebrate something completely different than what was reveled in at Sodom and Gomorrah. For starters, not everything they celebrate is even objectionable to many religious people: The fact that some people might be gay and deserve to be treated with basic human rights is something easily defended even in many traditional interpretations. Being gay isn't the same thing as having gay sex, and some people make that distinction. Part of the parades celebrate simply that people fall in the LGBT spectrum have these rights, which is fine and good. Though, even the more erotic parts are presented in a different context than S&G, too, for example its all supposed to be consensual and not rape like in the Biblical story.

What's hilarious is that the Bible didn't EVEN get the NAMES of the cities correct. How on earth could anyone trust the other details?

The Cities of the Plain were Bab ehd-Dra, Numeira, al-Safi, Khanazir, and Tall el-Hammam. And the cities weren't destroyed all at once...but over a 600 year period.

I suppose that means I disagree since the Bible doesn't hold any facts by which I can compare it to Pride parades.

God punishes sexual sin in both cases, yes

2Pe 2:6 God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people.

Jde 1:7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.

Mat 11:24 I tell you, even Sodom will be better off on judgment day than you today.”
