I realized that most people don't really understand the concept of sexual orientations, even when they say they do. That's why so many people seem to want to call it sexual preference instead. That's how dominant heterosexuality is. Everything else is simply... extra.

People generally fall into 3 camps. Extra is bad, Extra is good, And Extra is neutral, depending on the sexuality/sex. But extra is almost always considered to be down to lifestyle choice. And frequently, sexualities are lumped in with paraphelias and treated as if they were, for better or worse.

Their attitude towards this perceived choice largely depends on which of 3 groups they fall into. Obviously, the last group is usually the best one, as they're the ones mostly likely to believe in leaving people alone to do their own thing. But there can be many libertarian-minded members of the other two groups who will keep to their own business, too. They are also of least concern.

They ones who obviously cause the most problems are the ones of the first two groups who don't believe in leaving people alone, either because they are morally against or morally in favor of same-sex attraction or exclusive same-sex attraction. The latter attitude is of course, much more common in the Western world.

Clearly the pairing with the T can obfuscate surveys like this quite a fair bit. A good reason for why matters of sexuality should be split off from gender identity to minimize conflating the two. Because sometimes we can't exactly tell who people are referring to since trans topics are getting so much public air time nowadays.
