Race as justification for discrimination is a social construct. Essentially, yes we are all human. I guess some would argue that there is inherent inequality among the sexes based solely on innate biological differences, but sex is not sexual orientation. Sexual orientation, as the term would suggests, refers to the orientation of one's sexual attraction, not who one actually chooses to have sex with. I've never heard a convincing argument that sexual orientation is the sole domain of socialization, and i doubt i ever will.
