Poll question: By sexual orientation: Of the frontrunners, who do you support?

[Bluebear]

1. "Preference" is for brands of detergent and pizzas

[jackpan1260]

2. Obama! eom

[ruggerson]

3. "sexual preference"

are you serious?

I don't know any gay people who use that term.

[Quixote1818]

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

[ruggerson]

5. Sexual orientation

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...

8. "Preference" implies "choice".

15. Oh shit. I fucked up. I said I was straight and for Edwards. Add one to gay and for Edwards. /nt

[readmoreoften]

16. I'm straight and I'm pretending to be gay and I'm voting for Obama.

You forgot a category.

17. Not for any of them.

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