(I'm not sure, were Sodom and Gomorrah on the silk route ?? Same gender couple stowaways hidden on board Noah's Ark??)

From the 1st outed US imam:

While there, he met a number of Hui and Uighur people, Chinese Muslims whose ancestors had been introduced to Islam by traders traveling the Silk Road more than 1,000 years ago. "The Islam they practiced did not see being gay as an issue since Chinese history includes many leaders with same-gender partners," he said. "They took me to their mosque, and what I heard made perfect sense, so I kept going back."
