It's most likely bisexual people who experience something and it closes off or opens up something they hadn't considered in the past. There are also stories which are similar but don't relate to trauma. People who think they are straight but eventually lose interest in the opposite sex slowly. A traumatic event might just accelerate something which would have happened regardless.

Maybe I’m reading your comment wrong, but most of the studies were more focused on LG (which is why I wrote homophobia). The sexual abuse by same-sex would supposedly “cause” same sex attraction. Completely. Which was also what these types of people were always preaching in what “caused” homosexuality.

What is the logic of this? lol

Wouldn't same-sex abuse have the opposite effect, you know, by actually lowering any possible same-sex attraction on the victims?

The funny thing about this is that when the subject is women, these same people say the opposite: opposite-sex abuse turns women into lesbians.

They flip-flop on their beliefs based on convenience, not actual logic.

You know that, I know that. But, it was this logic among these people. Realistically, as you stated, if that was the case, it would be "causing" the opposite.

The only thing I can think of, is that they're trying to compare and use those pedo studies ("sexual abuse causes pedophilia"), but even that, still wouldn't make sense. Plus, severely fucked up.
