Examples of orientation in a Sentence
Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto:
We have been dealing with a lot of cases of violence, of people beating up people because they disagree with their sexual orientation, our clients... are not willing to follow up these cases with the police because they don't know how to explain to the police what they were doing with other men in the privacy of their bedrooms without admitting to committing offences.
We clearly need a federal law that will protect sexual orientation claims so that the federal courts won’t have to jump through hoops to do that.
Sometimes I think they take my orientation as some kind of personal attack and they can get really hostile about it.
We have to transition from this anger into power. We have to transform our, not just our discourse, but shift our mindset from this idea that in order for the community to win, law enforcement has to lose, we have to shift the discussion. We have to put the conversation back in a solutions orientation. And I think that's one of the things that we've lost over the last several years : we have to reimagine our discourse.
This bill does not prohibit the sale of the Bible – that’s an argument that we’ve heard – that’s untrue, it does not in any way prohibit free speech. It doesn’t prohibit anyone from speaking with a counselor, including a religious counselor regarding their sexual orientation, as long as no money is exchanged, as long as no services are sold.
