"...assuming that she simply declared her sexual orientation."

If she's a she, meaning she has all the mechanics of a female, her sexual orientation is female. If she likes girls, her sexual preference is lesbian.

Okay, I know I'm nitpicking, and I apologize. But words do mean things, after all. The queer agenda has made a decided effort over the last year or so to get people to stop using the word "preference" in favor of "orientation", so they can further entrench in our societal psyche the unproven speculation that homosexuality is genetic. Every time we let the Left define the terms of the debate, we lose that much more ground.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Even if a "gay gene" should be found, it would have no bearing on whether the gene is defective. For example, the fact that MS has a genetic basis doesn't make the condition any less disordered or immutable.

I beg to differ. Her sex is female, but she orients her sexuality towards females. Of course, we could use "sexual narcissist" but that would be insensitive.
