That’s odd, as most studies show homosexuality is the result of childhood molestation.
I don’t think it’s specifically child molestation but rather the envirorment a child is raised in.
A strong willed, controlling mother and no father figure or a weak father will give a child tendencies to want to be female if male and attracted to women if a girl.
At least that was the studies I read.
My sister turned lesbian after two husbands and four children. My other sister and I couldn’t understand it. My mother was pretty dominering (always) and particularly butted heads with her. My dad was in the army when she was young. Because he was back home for my other sister and myself, he tempered my mom and was very attentive to us.
But also, it’s a lifestyle choice. She chooses to be with the woman she is with. Over her kids who don’t want their children exposed to it. I don’t understand that.
I’ve found the testimony of ex-gay folks immensely valuable psychologically....because they are in a good position to know what they were thinking at the time and also what was fundamentally flawed about it (which, of course, most currently homosexual people are largely blind to).
My little hypothesis is as follows, at least for males. Boys grow up for one reason or another estranged from other boys—either as a result of molestation, or family problems, teasing, or sensitive personalities, what have you. When the rest of us went through a phase where “girls are icky”, they found themselves identifying with girls and not with other boys. Then, at puberty, this feeling of estrangement and otherness toward other boys is improperly sexualized, with all the symptoms that we normally have toward girls (crushes, heart palpitations, etc.).
The homosexual person sees this as a continuity between his childhood and his adulthood—thus “I was born gay” and “I was gay as long as I can remember”. But that’s hogwash, because sexuality doesn’t awaken in *anyone* till adolescence. They may have felt different, but the mistake is in identifying that difference as a protosexual attraction to men.
Molestation, troubled relationships with their father, or overbearing mother, at least for male homsexuality. Anyone says that being “born that way” is lying.
While there are undoubtably some that are born with urges, the vast majority are not. Well over 90% of admitted gay men admit to sex at least once with a woman so, so much for women can’t do it for me argument. And more than 90% of admittedly gay men admit that their first voluntary gay encounter happened only after they got good and drunk.
You don’t need to get drunk first to do something you believe and know in your heart you are meant to do. Sorry, but its a complete load, no pun intended, that homosexuality is not by and large nothing more than a psychological disorder.
