It is not pointed out or emphasized enough that the majority of male homosexuals were VICTIMS of sexual abuse by males as children and teenagers.

Women victims of rape often need counseling because in some cases they believe they were the cause of the attack.

A similar situation exists for those who were the victims of homosexual molestation. They probably feel they were the cause and must really be homosexual . They also probably think they are now worthless as a heterosexual mate for the opposite sex and drift into a full fledged homosexual lifestyle.

We are seeing examples of victims suing for the fact they needed counseling etc but I wonder how many are not suing because they are now firmly trapped in the homosexaul community>

The message that this is the way and how most homosexuals are created has to be brought out again and again

This scenario sounds reasonable, but most homosexuals? Not to be contentious, but can you post a link or URL to that study?

I believe it was on 60 Minutes II last night where they interviewed a man who was sexually abused by a priest at age 14, and he said it continued for six years! And that was only because the priest was transferred.

Now, to compare the effect of that "abuse" to the effect of rape does a grave injustice to rape victims. I doubt they would allow themselves to be raped for six years.

Something similar happened to my nephew, only it was a fellow student in his high school who HAD been seduced by an adult into the lifestyle. My nephew was having a difficult time because his mom was on her third husband (after my brother) and his mom's mother gave him some tranquilizers to calm him down. Maybe using them lowered his 'resistance', I don't know, but the other kid offered 'friendship and compassion' and seduced my nephew. This led to that downward spiral. He moved to New Orleans and got totally immersed in the homosexual lifestyle at the same time drinking heavily to dull his senses. He became an alcoholic, then tested positive for HIV. At that point he came to his senses, stopped drinking and came back home.

At this time he's doing very well as far as his health is concerned, and he's working with my brother in his company. He wishes he'd never gotten involved with the lifestyle, but realizes that he had been very vulnerable at that time, which that other kid saw as well.
