Does child abuse cause homosexuality?
Disaffected, May 4, 2024
Premiering at 9 pm Sunday on Youtube, we’ve got a conversation tonight that’s too hot for most shows to handle. Join us to talk with Joseph Sciambra, a writer and blogger who is not afraid to notice the correlation between child abuse and homosexuality. Drawing on his own experience, he discusses the connection and shows the decades of literature and research that supports it.
Plus, we do a serious lesson in Cluster B dynamics using the protests and violence on American college campuses.

Josh laughing at the Britney Griner interview is my new favorite thing. <3
Actually, child abuse prolonged readily causes psychological and emotional pain and dysfunction, typically for life.
If survived, early-life child abuse left unchecked typically causes the brain to improperly develop. It can readily be the starting point of a life in which the brain uncontrollably releases potentially damaging levels of inflammatory stress hormones and chemicals, even in otherwise non-stressful daily routines.
It can amount to non-physical-impact brain-damage abuse: It has been described as a continuous, discomforting anticipation of ‘the other shoe dropping’ and simultaneously being scared of how badly you will deal with the upsetting event, which usually never transpires.
The lasting emotional/psychological pain throughout one's life from such trauma is very formidable yet invisibly confined to inside one's head. It is solitarily suffered, unlike an openly visible physical disability or condition, which tends to elicit sympathy/empathy from others. It can make every day a mental ordeal, unless the turmoil is prescription and/or illicitly medicated.
As a moral rule, a mentally as well as physically sound future should be every child’s fundamental right — along with air, water, food and shelter — especially considering the very troubled world into which they never asked to enter; a world in which Child Abuse Prevention Month [every April] clearly needs to run 365 days of the year.
The health of all children needs to be of real importance to everyone — and not just concern over what other parents’ children might or will cost us as future criminals or costly cases of government care, etcetera — regardless of how well our own developing children are doing.
