4. The OP used the term because the poll encompasses both gay and straight. nt |

encompasses both and does not imply choice in the matter.

6. And 'preference' is the incorrect term. |
|
"orientation" is more accurate.

7. Those who object are saying it isn't a matter of PREFERENCE |
|
I PREFER vegetable pizzas with lots of cheese, but I can manage with a plain one if I have to. Or a sub, if that's all they've got.
It's not a question of preferring when it comes to orientation, that's the issue. The GOP are famous for saying that people CHOOSE (prefer, perhaps?) to be gay. See, if only they'd give up that pizza, and switch to calzones, all would be right with the world...

So I am guessing that you don't need my orientation. Peace, Kim
