SEXUAL ORIENTATION

From Philosopedia

SEXUAL ORIENTATION

“Sexual orientation” is favored over the term “sexual preference” because it indicates an identity that cannot be changed or cast aside lightly, like a preference. One could be a male brunet with a preference for doughtnuts and for being a beautiful blonde female but still be a doughtnut-eating brunet male.

One’s sexual identification is commonly defined as homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual, depending on a person’s sexual relationships.
