ArchivedCauses of a homosexual orientationI am not taking your comments personally, as to the role of the father, that was taught in my psych class in college almost 30 years ago and is found in many parenting books. As to sexual abuse, it is found in both sexes, however, the incidence of boys molested after the age of 9 that become gay is lower girls who are molested. Since sexual orientation is developed prior to the age of 9 sexual molestation after this age has not been shown to affect orientation in men. It does however, affect personal identity and most abuse victims deal with the trauma most of their lives. As to studies, you can visit NARTH or check out the Journal of Homosexuality. Since Dr. Spitzer and other psychiatrist's have publicly questioned the APA's stance on homosexuality I am hoping that new peer reviewed studies will be conducted. However, the official position of the APA is not likely to change and such studies are just a pipe dream. Since my experience is vastly different than yours, my common sense supports my position. |
