Only because no one has fought for it yet. If they ever did I'm sure some lawyer will come up with a term that is equivalent to sexual orientation.

A person does not describe themselves as being black, middle aged, hearing impaired, and only attracted to family members.

And why does a person who want to marry their sibling have to only be attracted to family members? A bisexual can choose either a man or a woman to marry.

Alternatively, people do describe themselves as being white, elderly, and gay. That is the difference.

And some people describe themselves as John's sister or Mary's brother.
What you are arguing is semantics. There is no difference except sibling relationships are looked at with disgust and not political correctness.
