Hirono jumped on Amy Coney Barrett for saying it Tuesday, calling it "offensive and outdated." But it has been pointed out that the venerable institution that documents the literal meaning of words, Merriam Webster, quickly modified the definition of “preference”, to include: >>5 offensive, see usage paragraph below : ORIENTATION sense 2b sexual preference: >>Usage of Preference >>The term preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to This negative connotation was not there before Hirono’s remarks. “Widely considered” my ass. Literally nobody in the world thought this yesterday morning. Seriously. Twitter is alight with countless examples of Leftist mavens using the exact phrase which offended exactly zero people, anywhere, until now (Meanwhile, I imagine woke bluechecks are frantically scrubbing their timelines of “sexual preferences” as you read this). https://twitter.com/SteveKrak/status/1316223349719216128 >>As recently as last month, Webster’s Dictionary included a definition of “preference” as “orientation” or “sexual preference.” TODAY they changed it and added the word “offensive." Insane - I just checked through Wayback Machine and it’s real. https://pic8.co/sh/uUABY2.png
