I think it's heterosexual bias ... back then and now.

I would say they choose the other places in the Bible but they dont dig deep enough no matter which one they’re looking at. Sodom and Gomorrah was more about gang rape, debauchery (remember, Lot offered both his daughters to be gang raped) and inhospitality than loving same sex relationships. Leviticus 18 had a whole range of other examples, of unclean vs clean etc. And Paul, well they dont consider the historical context Paul was writing in.
