The claim: "Through Lot's people the Qur'an condemns homosexuality (7:80-81); this is homophobic and against human dignity."
What the text says
- In Lot's narrative the Qur'an censures a specific act: "approaching men with desire, leaving women" (7:81; 26:165; 27:55).
- Within the narrative's frame, not only this act but also highway robbery, coercion, and the people's open/collective wrongdoing are mentioned (29:29) — so the account focuses on a whole picture of transgression. The scope of this frame (only the act, or a context of coercion/abuse) is a debated point in classical and modern readings.
An honest limit
This is a genuine values disagreement, and we do not paper over it: the text censures this act; part of the modern world regards a person's orientation as part of identity and worthy of respect. What we do is report what the text says honestly and mark that this is a moral / interpretive debate — not pass judgement on persons. This platform upholds the dignity of every human and demeans no one. "The text censures an act" and "the Qur'an targets persons" are not the same; the first is in the text, the second is an inference.
