Okay, here's my humble opinion. What happened to you was a very sad and tragic thing. One thing to remember is that everyone did not go through what you went through, and it is not right to hate an entire group of people because of the awful thing that one horrible person did to you. That one person is to blame, not every gay person. Your posting hit me hard because when I was growing up, my parents would tell me that gay people were child molesters and mentally ill. I grew up without an identity, I did not get to go through puberty the way most straight people do, I spent a lot of my teen and young adult years confused and hating myself for who I was. There are good and bad people. Good and bad people come in all shapes and sizes, all races and all sexual orientations. You cannot say that someone is a bad person because they are gay or straight. That just does not make sense.
I am very sad about what happened to you. No child should ever have to go through that. The man who did that should be hunted down and thrown in jail for the rest of his life. I have no sympathy for rapists. And I hope that you will seek therapy and try to get rid of some of the sadness and anger that you carry around with you. Take care of yourself.
