Does the absence of child sexual abuse and any other abuse, among yequana people who are 100% straight, prove that homosexuality is a mental illness?

By mental illness i mean trauma response due to child sexual abuse, bad parenting, and toxic industrial chemical exposure.

Not in the slightest. What it generally means is that there may be strict religious/cultural influences that force gay people to hide or that (and most likely) the poll is flawed and just bs. You dont have to be abused to be gay. I wasn't abused and I ended up marrying another woman.

This idea that being gay is a mental illness is just stupid. The ones who believe it to be true or push that narrative probably do have a mental illness themselves. Just saying...

You are traumatized and therefore mentally ill. Your whole life experience since day 1 is shaped by centuries of patriarchy.

Lmao no. Hard no.

Guys who force that kind of mindset on women still did not make me hate guys and attract me to women. Nothing external makes you gay. No mental illness makes you gay. You are either just are or are not.

Heterosexuality is not the standard. Honestly, if we were putting precedent in the patriarchy idea, then it would be a mental illness then to be attracted to guys who just want to oppress me. See how that sounds? Just as stupid as the idea that being gay was because of abuse and mental illness.

You are just as clueless as the other anonymous user who claims that a high sex drive results from being sexually abused by fathers.

You are the one with the mental illness.
