Amy Coney Barrett danced a cute one this morning, finding a rusty old dog whistle to toot a fast one on Democrats and a sloooooow one on Republicans.

“I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference and I would never discriminate on the basis of sexual preference.”

First, that’s a bald face lie.  From 2015 to 2017 she served on the board Trinity Schools, who had a policy of not accepting children of unmarried parents.  Gays could not marry at that time. And, even beside that, it’s never  just and honorable to discriminate against children for what you view as the sins of their parents.

Secondly, sexual preference is not sexual orientation.  Sexuality is not something you prefer, like vanilla ice cream.  Sexual preference is the term used by those who believe that every member of the LGBTQ community can be fixed.

Sexual preference: “I like screwing a guy who wears a thong and has thick hair.”
Sexual orientation: “I’m a male who has always been sexually attracted to other males.”

Food preference: “I’m not crazy about eating beets”
Food orientation: “I have to eat, or I will die”

This is not difficult.
