No one got upset when Joe Biden, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and other liberals used the phrase “sexual preference.” But all of a sudden, now that conservative Amy Coney Barrett has used it, the left says it’s offensive, and Merriam-Webster has even changed its definition.


This video shows lots of liberals, including Joe Biden and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, using the phrase “sexual preference.” And no one got upset about liberals using it.

The best thing to do is keep using language the same way we’ve always used it.

As though these leftists didn’t exist.

Don’t acknowledge their games.

Liberal leftists look at the phrase just as black people look at the “N” word...They can use it, but white people better not...

Boomers and older tend to say preference. Millennials and younger usually say orientation. Gen X is a mixed bag. But of course the Left acts like she used a slur that no uses.

The issue is never the issue, the language is never the language, the issue and the language is ALWAYS the revolution.

In the beginning was the Word. The Word never changes. NEVER.

Sexual preference.... maybe she should have dropped the pretense and just called them deviants and perverts.

Lemme know when the “believe the science” crowd can point to a queer gene

Any such gene if it existed would be disgenic and disappear within a generation since it would fail to reproduce

You know, that Evolution thingy

Chajin- “In the beginning was the Word. The Word never changes. NEVER.“

So true! What you said is what I’ve been thinking for the past 3 years since I became a Christian.

Grasping at straws - which now probably means something other than what I think it means.

Wink-Wink. Nudge-Nudge.

Leftists are insane. Mentally unstable. Dangerous and did I say, Insane?

I ignore them!

It’s a preference based off mental illness. I’ve never met a homosexual, male or female, that wasn’t sexually abused as a child.

History began last week, so in their own insane “sense,” they are “correct.”
