Four day pride festival to be held at Dead Sea, largest in Middle East history | The Jerusalem Post

(The Dead Sea, situated between Israel and Jordan, lies within the Judean Desert of southern 

Israel. They picked a relevant spot by the Dead Sea for their pride festival to be held because like all sinners who have not repented, they are spiritually dead. The spiritually dead see what they are doing as something not sinful. And if at one time any of them were ever Christians, they turned their back on God and did desert Him. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were located near the Dead Sea. The word "sodomy" originated from the Biblical city of "Sodom.")
