well i mean people do have those kind of problems because they seem to be afraid of the opposite sex that abused them...i mean i would be afraid of a man if he raped me cuz it just shows how much power they have towards you...hope i answered that ok..much love.byes

Well its partly true.Some people can get over the trauma they experienced and move on with there lifes like nothing happened.For others,its not likely for them to forget about it and get over it,it really takes a toll on there lives.For some,they think for example a boy gets sexually abused by a woman and he cant seem to get over it and he starts to think all woman are cruel like that,he cant trust woman anymore and is afraid to get intimate with a girl because of what has happened to him.So he thinks men are nicer and not as cruel,he becomes gay.If you heard of ellen degeneres she was sexually absued by a man and shes gay,it also happened with oprah winfrey but shes straight,it really depends how much it effects people.I hope that answers your question,im sorry it had to happen to your sister!

No, you can't become gay. Well, look at this way, my personal opinion is that people aren't homosexual or heterosexual, we're just sexual. Sometimes people will repress their emotions and be "gay" or "straight" because of something that happened when they were children, or maybe they just would have turned out the way they are regardless. If your sister seems to be a normal, happy, well-adjusted gay person then I wouldn't worry, but if she's sexually abusing little girls then you should get her professional help.

Well, if she was sexually abused by a man, she might have an aversion to men because of what happened. The associations with the male anatomy could be so horrible to her that she could just never be turned on by it. I, personally, think that homosexuality might possibly be a combination of genetic and environmental factors, rather than just one or the other, so that might not be the complete reason for it.

No you can't. YOu are Born Gay or lesbian.

You cant 'turn' gay from being sexually abused. You are born gay or in her case lesbian and will always be like that. Being abused would have absoulutely nothing to do with it.

You don't turn gay. You are gay when you are born. Some people say that you turn gay after you are sexually abused as a child. But what I have heard is that if you are sexually abused as a child, you are more likely to be abusive - whether it's verbally, physically, or sexually toward your children.

Honestly, I don't really have an opinion or theory for either direction. I've never really thought about it, never really cared. However, I have a homosexual aunt. She was sexually abused from an extremely young age, until her young adulthood. She claims this abuse made her "hate" men, all men, and everything they stand for. She claims that the "life changing" events she endured frightened her closer and closer to the comforts of a woman. And then from there, it was "history". Anyhow, this isn't my opinion; this is my aunt's story. I figured I'd include it, just in case you don't have the option of discussing this with your sister..

Some people as they grow up turn gay but if someone is sexually abused as a child it's possible because someone has taken someone from them then they usually think they shouldn't go along with their sex.About you're sister I'm trully sorry about what happened to her as a child even though I don't know her so if she turned gay because of that in a way it's reasonable.

normally you are born gay.
ORif she was sexually abused by a man, she might not have like it, and became afraid of men. if she was abused by a female, she might have become curious/like it

If she was sexually abused by a male (Which is usually the case) then it is very likely that she may have a strong fear of males, especially being violated in a sexual manner which is what romance comes down to (most of the time) she has probably changed to prefer women, due to having that phobia of males.

Actually many times when people are sexually abused as children they get cofnused about their own sexuality. Not saying that people whom are gay were all sexually abused as children. I have a friend who was molested and now he's confused about his sexuality. the experience can be very traumatic that it has that effect. It's very sad though because if the only reason she is gay is because of being abused then that isn't a efficient reason and she'll never be truly happy. There's a possibility however that she really is just a lesbian.
Sorry that those things had to happent to her though :-(
