I was a retail prevention loss agent (store dick!) for one dismal summer during the 90s. I quit when some customers started singing this in the aisle.

And the situation is serious

Were the straight people in Sodom also called Sodomites?  Tat seems unfair.

Nope, it's completely fair because the sin of Sodom isn't homosexuality but lack of hospitality.

Well I didn't say anything about sin or that old debate.  I was more thinking about the linguistic aspect of it.  Whatever you consider the moral of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah to be, you can't deny that "sodomite" is used as a derogatory term for homosexual.  So it would seem linguistically odd to call a straight man a sodomite. 

I wonder if there are any real, modern day cities or towns named Sodom.  Any time I try to search Google for such information I get references to the infamous Biblical city.

Well first the term is named after the city once it was destroyed so there was nobody left to be offended.

Second, the understanding of the terms sodomy and sodomite to exclusively mean homosexuality and homosexual is actually fairly recent, if you doubt that do a survey of what is covered by various sodomy laws around the nation.
