Oh, things like owning stock in a corporation that's being sued, having a personal relationship with one of the parties, you know,
actual conflicts of interest.
Sexual orientation, like gender and race, do not inherently disqualify a judge from objectively ruling on cases that involve parties of their same orientation, gender or race. To believe so is utterly absurd. And to apply that kind of "logic" across the board would see our legal system grind to a halt.
