What does "sexual preference" mean exactly?

Do you mean that the criminals in prisons who rape other criminals are gay but not homosexual?

Are you implying that neither or the terms is actually about whether a man has sexs with another man?

Under this distinction: Men who prefer to have sex with men rather than women are homosexual. Men who prefer to have sex with women rather than men are heterosexual.

Prison sex may be homosexual (that's a matter of fuzzy definitions), but (under this distinction) definitely isn't gay.
