Translation: by Yousuf Ali
4:15 If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or God ordain for them some (other) way.
4:16 If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for God is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.

The Story of Prophet Lut a.s.
26:160 The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.
26:161 When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
26:162 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
26:163 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
26:164 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
26:165 What! do you come to the males from among the creatures
26:166 And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.
26:167 They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.
26:168 He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing:
26:169 My Lord ! deliver me and my followers from what they do.
26:170 So We delivered him and his followers all,
26:171 Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.
26:172 Then We utterly destroyed the others.
26:173 And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.
26:174 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

The story of Lut's people who has been repeated quite a few time in the Quran, tells us;
1- Prophet Lut a.s.warned his people about something on behalf of Allah expecting no reward from them , so obvioulsy he was appointed for this task.(some people deny it)
2- The warning was for MEN APPROACHING MEN FOR SEX, who were leaving behind their WOMEN/WIVES.
3- Natural/Biological MATES are MEN AND WOMEN.
4-Lut's people were punished because of this transgression from the NATURAL LAW.
5- Prophet Lut's and his people's story was a SIGN to remember and learn from.

Finding genetical/pscycological reasons in the name of 'science' to support an absurd idea is like offending the Creator and the purpose of the creation. If it's presumed as a reality then certainly Allah must be 'joking'....
