    Being abused as a child does seem to have an effect later in life, these men have a much greater chance of being gay. See: Milo.

    Heh.

    The people who push this argument tend to engage in some interesting cognitive dissonance:

    • They disregard the fact that straight men are less likely to report sexual assault because they fear being seen as 'weak' by their peers, which yes, includes kids.
    • They do not discriminate between men that have been sexually abused by women and men that have been sexually abused by other men, treating any kind of sexual abuse as a 'risk factor' for growing as gay, which is a very... vague thesis, to say the least.
    • Also they ignore that a great deal of adult gay men were GNC in childhood, which is a factor that makes them more susceptible to bullying and, yes, sexual abuse. Male creeps like to go for effeminate male kids after all.

    Being gay doesn't mean effeminate. What a ridiculous, outdated notion.

    'Great deal' is not the same as 'all'.

    Oh well, proper reading comprehension is a rare skill on the internet.

    Being gay has nothing to do with being effeminate. Where'd you learn that, Trump University?

    Oh my...

    Let's deny reality then, it's not like studies show that a majority of GNC kids grow up to be gay and lesbian or anything.

    Trump University it is, then. Did you get out the calipers and measure skull widths while you were at it?
