One of my best friends had a son who from his early childhood wanted to play with the girls, with dolls, none of the usual boy stuff. As a young man he tried with various women but nothing “took”. Finally he admitted he was gay and his mother said she always knew he was different. She also has a normal son.
The gays I’ve known all said they were born that way. Since I was born straight this is something I can understand....sort of.

Correction, I should say gay MALE. And they weren’t all (or any) sexually abused. They just always like flower arranging and such since their youth.
And one, when married for 25 years (to a woman) led me to comment on becoming acquainted (”if he weren’t married, I’d swear he was gay.”) After his wife died, he “came out” without surprising me.
I suspect for women it’s very different, and majority are “gay” as the result of abuse, abandonment of a failed effort to attract a man, choice, or some combination.
They all make great neighbors because they keep their house and yards nice.
These are all just my own personal observations, and lead me to belief but not certainty.
