Yes, and? In this post and your next one you present an argument for why discriminating on the basis of sex is more rational than discriminating on the basis of race in terms of who you are attracted to. You seem to think that I was arguing that discrimination on the basis of sex is exactly like discrimination on the basis of race when it comes to picking romantic and/or sexual partners. Perhaps I was unclear due to brevity but that's not what I intended to say at all. My point was that we should refrain from judging people for having racial preferences in who they want to date for the same reason that we should refrain from judging people for having sexual/gender preferences in who they want to date: because nobody really controls who they are attracted to, because attraction is a very personal thing that is based on a whole host of factors, some less rational than others, because there is no basis for saying that any particular set of sexual preferences is "right", and because saying that people ought to be attracted to people who they aren't just leads to alienation and unnecessary grief. All of these preferences probably meet the technical definition of various forms of discrimination, but the words we have for those types of discriminations (rightfully) imply a certain moral judgment about the person being described which I think is inappropriate in this instance.
