7:80-84

81. "Verily, you practice your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by such sins)."
82"And the answer of his people was only that they said: 'Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!"
83. "Then (Allah) saved him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the torment)."
84. "And (Allah) rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.)"

11:77-83;
77. "And when (Allah's) Messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt himself straightened for them (because his people would approach the angels to commit sodomy with them). He said; "This is a distressful day."
78. "And his people came rushing towards him, and since aforetime they used to commit crimes (sodomy, etc.), he said; "O my people! Here are my daughters (i.e. the daughters of my nation), they are purer for you (if you marry them lawfully). So fear Allah and degrade me not as regards my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"
79. "They said; 'Surely you know that we have neither any desire nor in need of your daughters, and indeed you know well what we want!'"
80. "He said; 'Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you).'"
81. "They (Angels) said; 'O Lut! Certainly, we are the Messengers from your Lord! They shall not reach you! So travel with your family in a part of the night, and let not any of you look back, but your wife (will remain behind), certainly the punishment which will afflict them, will afflict her. Indeed, morning is their appointed time. Is not the morning near?'"
82. "So when (Allah's) Commandment came, (Allah) turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down, and rained on them stones of baked clay, piled up;
83. Marked from you Lord, and they are not ever far from the THalimun (polytheists, evil-doers, etc.)
