What really happened to Sodom and Gomorrah?

Over at the Pagan Temple they're writing today about those Las Vegas/Reno twin cities of the ancient world, Sodom and Gomorrah. What really caused them to catch on fire? Rampant sex-mongering, buggery and the offering up of Lot's virgin daughters, or just a rude and inhospitable tourism board?

According to the article, the names Sodom and Gomorrah mean "burned" and "a ruined heap," respectively, and these names were given to the towns after they were destroyed by rains of fire.

Meanwhile, over at Cristo Lumen, we learn that as gays and lesbians gather in Jerusalem for WorldPride events, Muslims, Christians and Jews are taking a break from killing each other to attack the homosexuals. One flyer offers a $4,500 reward to anyone who ""brings about the death of the denizens of Sodom and Gomorrah."
