Barrett conflated sexual orientation with sexual preference.
As if who we are attracted to is just a choice we make.

Why would it matter if it were a choice? Why are choices any less meaningful? I don't care if being gay is genetic or a result of a form you carefully fill out, let people love who they want to for any reason, intentional or otherwise, they want.

It doesn't matter. What matters is that there is a lot of religion-led decision making in politics so when gayness is viewed as a choice, it allows those non-secular politicians to argue that only heterosexuals should have protected rights.

Partially yes; OTOH, there's this "reeducation camps for gays" and all these things which certain groups base on their assumption "gay is a lifestyle choice".
It is not, though; and that is an important lever to make them accept homosexuals as natural and normal people.

Activist feel by saying sexual preference Barrett is saying being gay is choice.
It is silly Micro aggression bullshit.
They’ll try anything to get Amy Coney Barrett off the court.
