I worked in corrections for 28 years. Since you know that homosexuality is a choice, let me tell you what most inmates say. The attacker says "any port in a storm, I'm not a homosexual, just pasing time in jail." The victims do not switch to homosexuality because of the assault. In fact many are angry and some plot revenge. Others go into protective custody, but "converting" to homosexuality is rare with the few hundred cases with which I am familiar.

You can support this "study" all you want, but anecdotes do not make the point and if trauma will do it for heteros it would certainly work for homos. If it won't, please explain why. Of course there is no evidence, just our conflicting opinions. What a wonderful world.

Were any of the inmates, criminals?

Sexual trauma perpetrated on children does have an effect. It is a leading cause of increased sexually destructive behavior in the children when they grow older. Or do you want to poopoo that also?

What can I say? Your premise is faulty and doesn’t support why a trauma would cure a pathology; we don’t go around raping rapists to cure them do we? In fact it’s usually the opposite, the rapists, pedophiles… usually have been victims of the same crimes they commit. Any clearer now?
