Question

Is there a du’a like this for protection against sodomy/homosexuality?

“My Rabb, protect me and my family from the evil they are committing.”

Answer

This was the du’a of Nabi Lut (‘alayhis salam) which is mentioned in the Quran. Lut (‘alayhis salam) sought Allah’s protection from the despicable deed of sodomy/homosexuality that his people were engaged in.

Lut (‘alayhis salam) said:

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

O my Rabb! Protect me and my family from their [evil] deeds.

(Surah: Ash Shu’ara, Verse: 169)

One may certainly recite this du’a as well, with the intention mentioned in your query.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
