A couple of thoughts: 1) "Trauma/abuse" is very hard to quantify, and you might argue that no one's life is free of trauma, so how do you determine or quantify the nature and severity of the trauma and then establish a definitive connection to sexual orientation? 2) Lots of children do experience trauma and abuse during childhood, and the majority still turn out heterosexual.

It's one of those arguments that doesn't hold up on any kind of strict scrutiny.

True, I can agree with that. It’s just those studies, and when I encounter these people, they always bring them up.
