Dear Editor:
It was almost amusing to read as David Roberts espoused the moral superiority of heterosexuality over homosexuality.
It sounds as if he actually believes that gay people simply wake up one morning and make a decision to have sexual attractions that will cause them difficulty in society for the rest of their lives.
People are not morally superior simply because they experience heterosexual attractions when they reach puberty. They did not take the moral high road to reach this state; they only did what their hormones told them to do.
They didn't choose their sexuality. They only experienced it. Gay people have as much control over their sexual attraction as heterosexual people do. We reach puberty and find ourselves sexually drawn to members of their own sex. And it comes as a big surprise to most of us.
As for backing up his beliefs with all that stuff from the Bible, I would remind Roberts that this is a free nation and not all of us believe in the Bible as the infallible word of God.
