Genesis 13:13 (Amplified Bible)

But the men of Sodom were wicked and exceedingly great sinners against the Lord.

As we are comparing the bible is silent why and what's the wickedness of Er, and we saw his wickedness can be compared with the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah, that's why the LORD did not hesitate to slew, kill or destroy them.

Also it can be compared with the men in Noah's time.

And we can see Er's sins compared to a depraved man, and it's coming out again in these last days. People who marries with the same sex and it's now allowed. The reason why this earth will be destroyed by fire.

Romans 1:24-28 (Amplified Bible)

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin],

Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it).

For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,
