Being raped early in life can skew one’s concept of sexuality. It can make a young boy feel worthless unless he receives such “attention” from a man.
If you buy the fallacious argument of the left that homosexuality is just an “orientation,” then you can falsely argue that people are just “wired that way.” The truth is that natural sexuality can be damaged, in various ways, and needs to be repaired, or at least bounds set for it.
Recovered homosexual/transsexual Sy Rogers had a very good take on it. He said we all have “homo-emotional” needs, men need men - emotionally - just like women need women. When this legitimate need is sexualize through a trauma like early sexual assault, homosexuality can occur.
I appreciate the thoughtful and intelligent answer. I had surmised as such but could not explain it as cogently as you.
