I recently heard that "man marrying man and animals" was the reason that God was pissed off enough at mankind to send the flood.
Found a reference from somewhere other than Wikipedia

In Genesis Rabbah 26:5 (cf: Hullin 92a-b), Rabbi Huna said in the name of Rabbi Joseph, "The generation of the flood was not obliterated from the world until they wrote marriage contracts/wedding hymns for (males with) males and (people with) animals." (Grishaver, 4). The same Rabbi Huna also equated lesbianism with harlotry.
