   LGBTs report childhood sexual abuse at 3x-8x the rate of heterosexuals. LGBTs have similar order of magnitude higher rates of substance abuse, suicide, mental illness and obesity (among lesbians). The failure to consider this possible causal relationship has lead to a widespread assumption that homosexuality is an inborn and immutable characteristic. Failure to consider this possible origin has also led critics of homosexuality to assume that homosexuality as a preference is a conscious choice.

     So what the coward is saying is that pedophilia is harmful in a lot of ways.

     He’d never say this out loud since he only copies quotes from other sources and doesn’t digest or analyze them except in the most simplistic way that fits his narrow world-view.

     >>> Author: Clayton E. Cramer (adjunct faculty at College of Western Idaho)
     >>> Title: “An Open Secret: Child Sexual Abuse as One Possible Cause of Homosexuality”

     One. Possible. Cause.

     Let me counter-quote, since the Coward doesn’t care to have actual conversation:

     >>> While the correlation between childhood abuse and LGBTQ+ identity is well-documented, the scientific consensus rejects the claim that abuse causes homosexuality. Instead, research suggests that:

     >>> * Minority stress from stigma and discrimination explains mental health disparities
     >>> * Gender nonconformity may increase vulnerability to victimization
     >>> * Sexual orientation likely develops from multiple interacting factors, none of which include conscious choice

     >>> The failure to acknowledge this complexity has indeed harmed both LGBTQ+ individuals (by pathologizing their identities) and abuse survivors (by oversimplifying trauma’s effects).

     Not that he cares about abuse survivors, either.

     To continue:

     >>> Methodological Flaws in Cramer’s Work
     >>> Critics and mainstream researchers identify several fatal flaws in Cramer’s argument:

     >>> Correlation vs. Causation: Cramer relies on cross-sectional data which cannot establish temporal order. The mere existence of a correlation (higher abuse rates among LGBTQ+ people) does not prove abuse causes orientation.

     >>> Selection Bias: Much of the data Cramer cites comes from clinical populations (people already seeking help for trauma or mental health issues), which skews prevalence rates compared to the general LGBTQ+ population.

     >>> Prevalence Mismatch: If abuse caused homosexuality, the prevalence of homosexuality would be much higher given that ~50% of the general population experiences some form of adverse childhood experience, yet only ~3-5% identify as LGB.

     >>> Ignoring Resilience: The theory fails to account for the vast majority of abuse survivors who identify as heterosexual.

     In short, Anonymous Coward cherry-picks disproven information yet again and tries to pass it off as the one and only truth, even though there is an insurmountable amount of evidence against his sock-puppet claims.
