We'd also benefit from open conversation and investigation in relation to sexual abuse and LGBT in general. Without discounting normal variations, I feel we're affirming these things while ignoring trauma that could underly unusual sexualities.
LGBT people have significantly higher rates of childhood sexual abuse than the norm. It's difficult to see why a sexuality should be affirmed and celebrated if it was in part instigated by sexual abuse. It's as if the medical profession has decided that sexual abuse is to be ignored so long as the symptoms are stunning and brave. Women sexually assaulted will commonly seek to make themselves unattractive in order to avoid further victimisation. Do we celebrate incredible obesity caused by sexual abuse or do we try to cure it?
