Yes, Childhood Sexual Abuse Often Does Contribute to Homosexuality
Not all gay men were molested as boys (since there are multiple causes for homosexuality) and not all boys who are molested turn out gay (probably because they were less predisposed towards homosexuality). Still, it cannot be denied that a disproportionately high number of gay men were abused as boys, and that certainly contributed to their sexual and emotional development.
That’s why it was no surprise when Dr. Robert Epstein, the pro-gay editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, noted that gay readers who were upset with an ad that ran in his publication in 2002 sent him letters asserting “that gays have a right to be rude or abusive because they themselves have been abused” (this obviously included being sexually abused).
And that’s why it was no surprise when a 2009 reportprepared for a bisexual health summit revealed that 74 percent of bisexuals had been sexually abused as children. (For other studies focusing specifically on the connection between childhood sexual abuse and homosexuality, see here.)

Yes, Childhood Sexual Abuse Often Does Contribute to Homosexuality
That’s why “man-boy love” has been celebrated in homosexual culture through the centuries, that’s why there’s a page listing “Historical pederastic couples” on a gay Wikipedia site, and that’s why George Takei could speak glowingly of his first sexual encounter at the age of 13 (with a 19-year-old male camp counselor), at a time when he admits he didn’t know he was gay.
In this light, the outrageous statement by philosopher Michael Foucalt, arguing for lowering the age of consent, doesn’t sound as outrageous: “It is quite difficult to lay down barriers [particularly since] it could be that the child, with his own sexuality, may have desired the adult.”
Ah yes, it was the child asking for it again. This too is sickening beyond words.
The reality is that children, especially pre-teens and young teens, are tremendously impressionable and malleable, as confirmed by this account shared by a Christian family activist (reflecting on his pre-Christian youth):

Think of how many stories you read of lesbians who were abused by Fathers/other relatives/boyfriends/first husbands.

RE: Yes, Childhood Sexual Abuse Often Does Contribute to Homosexuality
I've been told by people who actually researched these things that before it became effectively illegal/career suicide to do any research about homosexuality in the 70s, the scientific consensus was that homosexuality in men requires both of the following: 1) a lack of any positive male role model as a child, and 2) a genetic predisposition (although even today they still have not found a "gay gene" so they don't know for sure how this works)
Homosexuality in women was not scientifically studied before 1960 because it was such a small number of people that it didn't warrant any attention from the medical or psychological professions.

Some boys love it when their daddy sneaks into their rooms late at night.

Is the over the top female mannerisms by male gays genetic too? Or are they just mimicking Elvis Presleys dance moves?
