Sexual orientation and sexual preference are not the same thing, though people argue where the line is. If you want to see a real shitstorm, see people arguing online if lesbians who sexually discriminate against transwomen are transphobic.
- tomp 12y agoPersonally, I see no difference. Also, if e.g. a straight person says they have experimented with the same sex, I take that as potential evidence that they only like a few members of the same sex, but (comparably) many more members of the opposite sex.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> Sexual orientation and sexual preference are not the same thing, though people argue where the line is. Probably because there isn't a line. Rich and poor aren't the same thing, either, but there isn't a line between them either. Humans like clear binary categories (to the point of trying to force things into them) but reality often doesn't oblige by being neatly structured around them.
