Sexual abuse can cause sexual trauma and sexual issues in the future, but it does not in any way alter one's sexual oreintation as a homosexual, hetrosexual, or bisexual person.

I was sexually abused as a child, but I ,in no way, feel this has anything to do with my identifying as bisexual. My attraction to women has nothing to do with the trauma I experinced in my childhood. It is just how I am wired, I can be in a relationship with a man or woman, to me both are not just sexually attractive to me but also emotionally attracted.

I have many gay friends that have never experince a sexual trauama. I have many hetrosexual friends that have sexual abuse history.

Sexual trauma can however leave us surviors with a lot of questions and a lot of confusion about our sexual identies, but it doesn't change our orientation. It's very important to work through those things with a mental health professional and get help.
