It would be a mistake to refer to this as “homosexual” rape. This has been used through out history by very straight men as a form of intimidation.
In fact...I could see this used specifically ON closeted homosexuals in the military as a method of control.
That said, it’s unfortunate.
One of the raped soldiers said he was targeted because he was small which was read to be “homosexual” and so he looked like a target for rape by “heterosexuals.”
He was not homosexual and the rapist was not heterosexual.
That is an up-side-down lie. Men who rape men are not heterosexuals. Heterosexual men who are raped by homosexual or bisexual men are not homosexuals.
