We see this in Genesis, but Ezekiel goes much further in depth.Maybe a little to hospitable. They would follow strangers who came into their city so they could gang rape them.
Ezekiel 16:49-50 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me...
It is my understanding that the Hebrew word we translate as 'detestable' does include or emphasize moral wrongs, of course among which sexual sin. What strikes me is the thought of what came first, or the order in which the sins occurred. First came arrogance which led to being overfed, which led to such unconcern they did not help the poor and needy. They became so proud and haughty they did what is detestable in the eyes of God.
