Letter: I’ll take my New York values elsewhere, thanks

I read the commentary from Mormon Women for Ethical Government, a group of women who recently commented on Sen. Orrin Hatch's remarks about New York values.

Thank you, ladies, because you are correct, Hatch's words are offensive as well as perplexing. Apparently, Hatch, Sen. Ted Cruz and many other politicians get political points for criticizing people from the New York area.

Yes, our values may differ, but that doesn't mean they are wrong. We live in an area with people who come from all over the world. Living among such diversity means that we need to be tolerant of others’ beliefs and customs.
