Original Note:
Sexual abuse "causing" male homosexuality is speculative. Gay males are targets for sexual abuse because they often display gender nonconforming behavior in childhood: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1079063215618378 Tribes which enforce homosexual behavior among boys do not have higher rates of homosexual orientation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_and_sexual_orientation#Childhood_sexual_abuse,_molestation_or_early_experiences
