LETTER: Messy sex
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Deborah Orr must lead a very sheltered life. Surely, heterosexual life is no less "messy" than homosexual ("A subtle (but dangerous) new prejudice", 1 February). Ninety-nine per cent of the cards in telephone boxes advertising sexual services, for example, are directed at heterosexuals and advertisers usually expect replies, indicating that they are answering a demand. If there is any difference between heterosexual and homosexual lifestyles, perhaps it is that the latter are just a little more honest, both with themselves and everyone else.
