Democrat loses it over Barrett’s use of the term ‘sexual preference’

ANOTHER OFFENSIVE DEMOCRAT

Hawaii’s Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono raised eyebrows during Tuesday’s confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, with a particular line of attack focusing on Barrett’s earlier use of the term “sexual preference” to reference homosexuality.

“Even though you did not give a direct answer” on the Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling (which made same-sex “marriage” the law of the land), Hirono said, “I think your response did speak volumes.” “Not once but twice you used the term ‘sexual preference’ to describe those in the LGBTQ community,” she went on. “And let me make clear: ‘sexual preference’ is an offensive and outdated term. It is used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice. It is not. Sexual orientation is a key part of a person’s identity. That sexual orientation is both a normal expression of human sexuality and immutable was a key part of the majority’s opinion in Obergefell, which, by the way, Scalia did not agree with.”

“So if it is your view that sexual orientation is merely a preference, as you noted, then the LGBTQ community should be rightly concerned whether you would uphold their constitutional right to marry.”

Even homosexuals desire the ability to chose what they want to be with LGBTQI. Born gay has never been proven and Hirono knows this. 

Hirono’s time expired before Barrett could respond, but the next questioner, Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, gave her a chance to do so. "I certainly didn’t mean to use a term that would cause any offense in the LGBT community,” Barrett said.

ANOTHER OFFENSIVE DEMOCRAT

Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett defended herself from attacks she was using her two adopted children from Haiti as “props.” In the final hour of today’s confirmation hearings, Barrett said that “accusations like that are cruel.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked her about the accusations leveled most prominently by “some butthead professor at Boston University,” who said that “because you and your husband have two children of color, that you’re a white colonist. The implication is that you’re a racist and then you use your two children as props.”

A far-left activist had suggested Barrett was a 'white colonist' for adopting black children. “It was the risk of people saying things like that, which would be so hurtful to my family, that when I told Senator Graham this morning that my husband and I had to really weigh the costs of this,” said Barrett. “It was saying deeply offensive and hurtful things, things that are not only hurtful to me, but are hurtful to my children, who are my children, who we love, and who we brought home and made part of our family.”

“And accusations like that are cruel,” Barrett concluded.

Ibram X. Kendi, the director and founder of Boston University’s “Center for Antiracist Research,” had tweeted on September 26, the day Barrett was officially nominated by President Donald Trump, “Some White colonizers ‘adopted’ Black children. They ‘civilized’ these ‘savage’ children in the ‘superior’ ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.”
