What's the deal with the term "sexual preference" now being offensive?
From the ACB confirmation hearings:
Later Tuesday, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) confronted the nominee about her use of the phrase “sexual preference.”
“Even though you didn’t give a direct answer, I think your response did speak volumes,” Hirono said. “Not once but twice you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community.
“And let me make clear: 'sexual preference' is an offensive and outdated term,” she added. “It is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice.”
