What's the name of the place often referred to where lazy, fat, immoral people resided in Roman times?

Question

The name of the place is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't get it to come out. It was where the people would sit around and eat and drink wine and be lazy all day and would have orgies at night. I think it might have been a mythical name applied to Roman times.
I think it's also sometimes used as a derogatory term towards LGBTs.

The Vatican.

The derogatory term came from all of the grown men wearing dresses.

I think you are thinking of Utopia, although I do not see how that is a derogatory term.

The Saturnalia?  From what I understand, it fits the description.

Sodom and Gomorrah!

Christians often use the term "sodomites" to describe gay people. The sin of Sodom didn't have anything to do with human sexuality, though; it was about disrespect and lack of hospitality. :P
