If you think about it, sexual preference is actually a more inclusive term than sexual orientation, because it implies that sexuality may be fluid, kind of like how gender is alleged to be fluid. It also implies agency, that lovely progressive term, that people are empowered to have whatever kind of sex they want, or no sex at all, and that may change from day to day. In other words, people can and should have a say in their sexuality, not be biologically or psychologically enslaved to it.

Hirono is a bigot.
