I would prefer having "sexual preference" rephrased to "preference of gender or sex".

"Sexual Preference" is so wide it could arguably include pedophilia, zoophilia, polygamy, polygandy, etc. All of these are sexual preferences. I'm not sure if that's something that should be automatically protected by the Federal Government. At least, not as of yet.

That is a good point, as I'm aiming to be specific to same-sex marriage.
