She said the occurrences, which happened in her late teens, had no effect on her sexual orientation.

And how would she know this? How does anyone know what one's subconscious motivation might be?

[RushCrush]

Interesting. There is no way to tell.

[Elpasser]

Hmmm. A possible cause for her attraction to the same sex? NAW. Can't be!

[KidGlock]

And wasn't Rosie also molested?

No effect on her sexual preference either, I'm sure.

[funkywbr]

Boy talk about taking NO to the extreme!~}

[AppyPappy]

Another mere coincidence.

[plain talk]

She said the occurrences, which happened in her late teens, had no effect on her sexual orientation

sounds like she is trying to convince herself.

[ctlpdad]

Her step dad was one sick man.

[highlander_UW]

She said the occurrences, which happened in her late teens, had no effect on her sexual orientation.

Then it's just a stunning coincidence that there is such a huge percentage of homosexuals who were molested as children? She's in denial.

[SmithL]

I'm sure that she has convinced herself of that. As has Rosie.

[Skooz]

No no no no no no no no.

They are BORN that way. And any who say differently are quickly hushed by the gay thought gestapo (re: Anne Heche).

I was molested as a teenager by an adult male. It hasn't turned me into a lesbian!

[LAQueenBee3]

I don't know, if she was in her late teens, she probably already knew which direction she was going. Maybe this molestation sealed the deal, but by 17and 18 I think her sexuality was probably already there.
My concern is why does everyone have to go public with their childhood molestations??? It seems like half of Hollywood was abused as a child.

[John Lenin]

Being a lesbian is all about not trusting men or being traumitized or put down by men in some way. These people will never admit it, but it's the truth.

[lawdude]

I wish I could call a Press Conference.

I am Joe Average. Sixty-three years old, retired, Engineer/Lawyer and no special deeds/accomplishments or negatives.

I would like to announce to the assembled media that I WAS NOT MOLESTED AS A CHILD.

My childhood was fairly normal in an average WHITE family in Sioux City, Iowa.

Now, I would guess there are as many people who care about my story as there are who care about that broad's.

[Adder]

Daaang...made her queer, too.

How can she deny that her problem with men had nothing to do with her reported abuse?

Thats sorta whistling past the graveyard.

[null and void]

Engineer/Lawyer?

What caused you to go from the creative side of the Force to the Dark Side?

[Protagoras]

And wasn't Rosie also molested?

Impossible to imagine how insane someone would have to be to even touch that disgusting slob.
