As a Psychologist, I would have to say yes. In more than 25 years of practice, every single person that I have counseled who lived a homosexual lifestyle reported that they had been sexually abused (forced to participate) as a child by someone of the same gender. I have counseled more than 500 such individuals to date.
Thanks. Statistics like that have always made me wonder how the first homo came to be?
Doc, isn’t such induced homosexuality often, if not always, a kind of learned craving for being bullied, so to speak? The desire for continuation of a molestation would fall in that category. God never intended man to accept arbitrary imposition of another man’s will, but man has lost his way and hatred rules rather than proper love.
Although not a doctor of anything the ones I’ve known in life who are gay the girls had early childhood sexual experiences with men or had early sexual teen experiences where they were hurt and could not heal they felt.
Just saying....
I wonder in some cases abused people become gay as a way of trying to “normalize” in their heads what happened to them, more as a coping mechanism.

I said this to a woman I know the other day when we were discussing why people are gay. She did not believe me. I told her to ask the gay people she know if in fact they were sexually abuse some time in their lives.
I knew a woman who was raped in HS. She is a lesbian now. Not surprised. The rape was so brutal it almost killed her. Even with rape counseling how does someone like that ever get over it?
A close relative in a related discipline agrees with you. Every single one.
