I believe they are onto something. Knuckle dragging freepers love to think that molestation creates all homosexuality, but they would be very wrong. Ask the good decent men who are very straight but their lives have been greatly damaged by mole station by a man in their childhoods. It definitely doesn’t turn all boys gay.

Nobody has ever said that being molested turns all boys gay just just as being beaten as a child does not mean that you will grow up to beat your kids.

It does however result in a statistically significant higher chance of those things happening and for similar reasons.

The victim does not want to be a victim, they want to be strong. The abuser is strong. The way to be strong is to be an abuser and have your own victims.

And the cycle continues.

Oh, you are very right. Many abusers were abused, and the cycle keeps going. Imprinting is a fact. Especially about the power and the violence. But orientation doesn’t always imprint. Many SNAP (victims of sex abuse bu any kind of authority as a child - clergy, teachers, etc) members are hetero male adults that are still hetero and their homo rapes as kids have devastated their lives.
