"How many gays were coerced into the lifestyle through molestation? [...] How many gays are gay only because they [...] fear heterosexuality?" If most or many gays are gay because they were coerced into gay sex as children, wouldn't they fear homosexuality, not heterosexuality?

[Arthur McGowan]

No, because children accept what powerful adults tell them, or do to them, as normal or deserved. A child who is molested does not believe that he deserves anything better. The self-loathing of the abused child is indescribable.

Like many behavioral disorders, the sufferer experiences a "high" when engaging in the disorder. (See: psychopath, bulemia, anorexia, drug abuse)

One of the primary initiating causes (often revealed in a non-confrontational setting) of homosexuality is sexual abuse of a young person by anyone. I'll not reveal the questions that expose these answers as it *will* make the rounds and a compensatory response will arise, deceiving the interviewer. However, you cannot receive an honest answer without a friendly, accepting atmosphere which can place the interviewer at considerable risk of rape.
