From the Ancient Jewish Commentaries known as the Midrash:
“The generation of the Flood was not wiped out until they wrote gemumasi’ot [marriage documents or contracts] for the union of a man to a male or to an animal.”
“The generation of the Flood was not blotted out from the world until they composed nuptial songs (until they wrote marriage deeds) for males and beasts."brandeis.edu/…ects/fse/judaism/docs/essays/same-sex-marriage.pdfAs it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage,
until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was in the days of Lot—they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built,
but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all—so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it. - St. Luke 17:26-33 (RSVCE)
In light of current events, it is good to bear in mind the commentaries written by experts from antiquity.
