| | + | |author=Dennis Jernigan |publisher=DennisJernigan.com |quote=I used to struggle daily with unwanted same sex attraction – unwanted homosexuality. From my earliest recollections I felt drawn to other males. Many circumstances came my way that only seemed to reinforce those feelings. When I was five years old an adult male confronted me in a sexual manner. As a child I was very emotionally sensitive, artistic, and musical…and the other boys at school in my formative years seemed to relish in reminding me how much of a fag I was. In my college days, a friend and mentor – married with children, Christian, and community leader – made a sexual advance…and I was convinced this was my lot in life. The only problem with that is that I became more miserable than ever. When I got to the end of my rope, God met me there with a new identity and the power to change my way of thinking. To my great dismay (but not to my surprise), the world has begun to think in an upside-down manner, calling what is righteous ridiculous and what is perverse normal and acceptable.|accessdate=2 Jul 2016}}</ref></div> |

| | Childhood sexual abuse is likely the most common cause of homosexual disoriented self-misidentification. Children are deeply traumatized by sexual abuse and this trauma often results in the adoption of a [[ABC_Theory_of_Emotion#Homosexual_Lifestyle|homosexual lifestyle]] as an adult. A review of the autobiographies of “gay” leaders is enough to confirm this assertion. A large number of them report homosexual molestation by an adult during their childhood or early adolescence, from the German “grandfather of the ‘gay’ movement,” [[Karl Heinrich Ulrichs]], to the father of the American “gay” movement, [[Harry Hay]], and many of the leading activists of the past half-century. Significantly, however, in the case of many of those who do later adopt a homosexual pseudoidentity, these early sexual encounters are not characterized as abuse or molestation, but more often as “consensual” sex. | | Childhood sexual abuse is likely the most common cause of homosexual disoriented self-misidentification.
