You mean you can't defend your point? I can give you plenty of examples of my position. FSG has already started.

My husband has two co-workers whose daughters (who go to different schools) pulled out of their respective high school basketball and soccer teams due to being pressured by their teammates to "try the lesbian life" and when both girls said they weren't interested they were bullied for being homophobic. The pressure is there and it's real.

I was friends with a guy many years ago who had a bad relationship with his mother so he didn't trust women and his partner at the time (who was a sexual predator) used that to convince him he was gay. By the time he realized what he was a victim of he felt so much shame he thought his only option was to stay gay because no woman would want him. Not to mention the psychological trauma of that whole situation. 

I have another friend who, while growing up was sexually abused by his mother and many of her male companions. He thought for years that he was gay even though he was attracted to women. Those men didn't just sodomize his body, but also his mind by convincing him he wanted what they were giving him otherwise why would he let them? Nevermind he was a fing child being forced against his will.
