don't know what the percentages are, but I do know many survivors of child sexual abuse don't become pedophiles. Some simply become attracted to the same sex for romantic and sexual intimacy in an age-appriopriate way. How do we determine if the attraction was caused by the abuse? Genes? Fetal hormones? Hard to say.
But could you truly say that is homosexuality? Many times in history we see homosexual activity where it doesn’t have much to do with being gay but satisfying a sexual need or a societal norm. Look at prison do you really think those guys are gay or just desperate? Or look at ancient Sparta, men were supposed to have sex with each other so as to strengthen comradery it had nothing to do with attraction to the same sex. Yet just about all soldiers did it and all spartan males were soldiers.


When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered
