No, what happened to you at 9 did not "make" you gay. Just ask any competent Psychiatrist.
And what your parents did was flat out child abuse.
I came out at the age of 23 but knew at a much earlier age that I was 'different'. And at a bit older age (before coming out), that I was gay. It just took longer to admit it to myself.
If you have any questions that you don't feel quite comfortable asking publicly in the forum, please feel free to send me a PM and I'll do my best to answer any questions that you have.
And welcome to PC.

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
