Letters: Sexual ‘preference’? That’s so 1970s

Re “Making history,” Letters, June 29

In a letter against same-sex marriage, one reader refers to sexual “preference” over “orientation,” the latter of which much more accurately depicts the basic difference between gays and non-gays.

We do not wake up one day and decide to be gay; we truly are born that way, to use a cliche. Indeed, if I had a sexual “preference,” I would not have stayed home from my high school prom and been forced to endure bullying.

“Sexual preference” is so 1977. We’ve made so much progress. How about dropping that very misleading and very outdated term?
