Biden, Ginsburg used term ‘sexual preference’ — only Barrett was attacked for it
Leading Democrats have used the term without any criticism for years, and at a town hall event this week former vice president Joe Biden said he thinks children as young as eight who have ‘decided’ to be transgender ought to be supported in their confusion.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett was attacked for using the term “sexual preference” instead of “sexual orientation” in the context of homosexual “marriage.” Meanwhile, leading Democrats, including presidential candidate Joe Biden, have used the same terminology without any criticism.
In response to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Barrett had said during this week’s confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, “I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference, and would not ever discriminate on the basis of sexual preference. Like racism, I think discrimination is abhorrent.”
A little later during the same hearing, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) attacked Barrett for her comments.
