Why can’t some Christians?

Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.

Can cheating be a result of not truly loving or caring for someone, or is it sometimes just a spur of the moment decision?
