How do blind people discover their sexual orientation?

My friend was born blind and she is a lesbian.
She is white and is highly attracted to black girls, especially Beyonce and used to have pictures of her on her wall.
My friend is now married to a wonderful woman and is very happy.
There
is a guy called Simon Weston. He was horrifically burnt in the
Falklands war and his face was pretty much melted away. He went on to
get married, have children etc even though he wasn’t ‘classically good
looking’ and his face was horrifically scarred. I remember years ago I
watched a interview when I was a child with his wife and she said that
she didn’t see the scars. She didn’t see the painful reminder of when he
lost his face. She just saw Simon. This wonderful, sexy, endlessly
attractive man that she adored.
It
begs the question, what is attraction? Is it someones face? Is it their
eyes? Is it their skin colour? Or is it the over all way that someone
is?
If a child
goes blind at the age of 5, let’s say, and they have not yet developed
hormones and sexual attraction to people, do they remember how
attractive people looked when they were 5 years old? Or do they just get
attracted to whomever they are attracted to?
Sexual
orientation is so much more than just what a person looks like. It’s
who they are as a person. how they make you feel. It’s all the little
non-visual cues that make you love them and attracted to them. It’s why
so many people fall in love over the internet when they have never met.
It’s why some people that are married their entire lives, suddenly meet
the right person of the same sex and fall in love unexpectedly.
People
know what they are attracted to and they know what they like. If I lost
my sight tomorrow, I wouldn’t suddenly start being attracted to men as I
couldn’t see them as men. I’d still love women for everything that they
are and for everything that they are to me.
