Homosexual orientation

Avoid

Abnormal orientation, untraditional orientation, unconventional orientation

There have always been gay, lesbian and bisexual people, in particular there is historical evidence of homosexuality in the ancient world. Therefore, the word “unconventional” does not make sense. Second, such a statement seems to separate LGBT people from the rest and make them seem less valuable, as does the phrase “abnormal orientation.” Phrases like that have been outdated since 1990, when homosexuality was officially de-classified as a mental illness by the World Health Organization.
