If you think there isn't a disproportionate amount of sexual abuse in the backgrounds or that drawing a correlation between sexual abuse and homosexuality is just dumb, then how about posting a source that we can examine instead of just basically saying nuh-huh.

Your sources depict bullying, primarily, and do not give any support that most gay people have that orientation due to sexual abuse.
Astreja has answered your nlm study better than I ever could. And sexually-abused lesbians? Most females have been sexually abused. It's the world we live in.
And OF COURSE gay children are bullied. Wow. High school is still hell for gays and lesbians, and back when I went to school? Much, much worse than today.
We can clearly see why you're taking "a certain position" and providing celebrity examples and dubious research.
You want to establish your already held belief that homosexuals are "less than" and damaged (because calling them nasty evil perverts is frowned upon these days).
You still need a study to prove that the majority of homosexuals are victims of SEXUAL ABUSE.

(For example, I could never grok "girl things" like playing with dolls and just didn't fit in with my female peers.)
^^^^ no shit Sherlock ^^^ Any high school kid that isn't into dating, a guy that isn't a jock, a girl who isn't girly - they practically have huge KICK ME signs on their backs.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
