Failure to consider this possible origin has also led critics of homosexuality to assume that homosexuality as a preference is a conscious choice.

By the time he was in his early 20s, Van Ness was using methamphetamine and then went to rehab twice, the newspaper reports.

But his sexual orientation could not possibly be associated with premature sexualization by another male. Right...
