More right-wing pastoral threats. Left-wing Christians really ought to stand up and denounce this kind of shit:

I must say that I didn't even have the stomach to read that, but it occurs that it is easy to refute. I've only had close personal friendships with two young women who were victims of violent rape* but each had several relationships with women subsequently, not men. It is likely that my brother was molested by an older male teenager when he was 14 & he remains the most homo-phobic person in my family (but since we're mostly a bunch of homophiles...it is only by degree, he is basically tolerant). This is one of the most ridiculous claims that can be made. It has long since been demonstrated beyond statitstical doubt that violence begets violence, not gender reorientataion.
*Spoiler alert: the rest won't be pleasant reading.
Of the two mentioned above, one was a very close friend, abducted by two guys, thrown into a car and they both had their way before dumping her out of the car in the middle of nowhere in a torrential downpour.
The other was a grad school classmate that I rather liked. She was the final victim of a serial rapist who was a mental patient recently released because of budget cuts in WA State. His MO was such that all she knows is she went to sleep in her bed and was awakened with a cloth pressed over her eyes and a knife at her throat. The rest followed as you can imagine (& this was in the days before DNA evidence.) Fortunately he kept his next appointment with his parole officer & said PO determined enough inconsistencies in his story that eventually they got a confession from him.
Here's the kicker, and one of my most deeply suppressed memories: I had a date with this girl that very night, but I cancelled for some small reason that I couldn't remember then, nor have since.
What if...?
