When it is stated or implied that a character is gay because of sexual assault from an Always Male abuser. According to this trope, both male and female victims exhibit the same response to rape, which is to become attracted to the same sex. Men become attracted to men, and women become repulsed by men. This trope is based on the premise that heterosexuality is the "default" state, and that people are only gay as a psychological response to sexual trauma: addiction for men and revulsion for women. The further implication is that being gay is inherently unhealthy and interferes with a "normal" sex life. A variant is where a secretly (or not-so-secretly) gay character is propelled violently from the closet by unwelcome sexual contact. This version is always the male/male subtrope, and verges on "victim falls for rapist." While this can happen, it is not likely. The PG version of this reduces intercourse to some milder form of sexual contact, usually a kiss. Finally, there's the real life Homophobic Hate Crime of corrective rape, where the victim is raped in order to force conformity for the social norms of the place and time; commonly but not exclusively targeted at gay people in order to turn them heterosexual. It is Not a Subversion when a rape survivor doesn't become gay, nor is it automatically played straight if a gay person is a rape survivor. The work must establish a clear connection between sexual assault and sexual orientation. This trope is passing into Discredited Trope territory. In real life, abuse survivors are as likely to be any sexual orientation as anyone else, and there is no one definite thing that puts people on the LGBTQ spectrum. An exception is fanfiction. Many fanfics love this trope, using it to an absurd degree, often with Squick-y and disturbing results. Hentai and other pornographic stories involving some form of rape of a target whose sexuality is not in preference of the rapist's gender are often guilty of this as well, and it remains a common trope in Boys' Love fiction. Related to Cure Your Gays (if the character embarks on pleasant heterosexual sex and consequently has a change of orientation). May overlap with Promiscuity After Rape. Has no relation with Bait-and-Switch. noreallife |

Invoked in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: The episode "Conversion" focuses on a boy named Lucas Hale who rapes his gay church member under the genuine belief that he was doing so to turn her straight, and save her soul. It was ordered by their reverend, and was actually doubled. Lucas is gay himself, and the reverend believed it would "cure" them both. The victim eventually deconstructs the entire idea, pointing out you can't change someone. | |

Mutsuki of Tokyo Ghoul is revealed to be a trans male with psychotic feelings for Sasaki/Kaneki. We learn the reason he became psychotic was due to loneliness and jealousy and a messed up past involving a alcoholic father who sexually, physically, and verbally abused him. He became afraid of men due to his father which is implied to be the reason why he transitioned from a female to a male who had feelings for another kinder male, as a means to protect himself from being victimized again. He tried to kill Touka for being the one Kaneki loved but ultimately ends up being redeemed. The scene where he holds a cut off and disfigured hand (albeit fake) with a wedding ring on it which he says is from Touka’s beloved friend in a bid to get at Touka is particularly memorable. | |

Pussy Galore in the novel Goldfinger became a lesbian after she was molested by her uncle as a child. She "changes back" when James Bond's appearance seduces her. In an interview, when discussing inspirations for playing her character, the actress who played Pussy Galore said something along the lines of "I knew she was a lesbian, so I tried to play somebody who had been abused as a child." | |

In I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Benny was gay before meeting AM. Unlike most examples of the trope, though, AM's violation of Benny's body and mind is done directly and intentionally, as AM is capable of changing the brains and bodies of his victims as easily as editing them in Photoshop. Making Benny heterosexual came along with changing him from a handsome, austere man into a brutish "ape-thing" with exaggerated sexual organs, ostensibly forcing him to become the absolute worst expression of what heterosexualty is supposed to represent. | |

After he gets rescued by Knives he is later seen being only attracted to and in love with men (namely Knives and possibly Vash).note Though that could be considered Single-Target Sexuality. | |

Sakura Gari: Definitely Masataka is going this way, but he manages to just scrape through on a subversion in that Masataka was turned on when Souma hit on him in the library back in the very first chapter, indicating at least some kind of attraction before that point, but it still swerves close enough to this trope played straight to be a little uncomfortable. The fact that their relationship before this point was rather more pure and platonic with serious Ho Yay subtext could also be seen as another way this trope was subverted. It's still not a nice outcome for the poor boy, though. Souma on the other hand, has this trope played rather more straight, where he was raped and used for sex by so many people that he eventually came to just not distinguish between genders and would sleep with men or women. |

Implied with Yuri from Penguindrum who as revealed in episode 15 has a bad past involving her father carving her body with a chisel to make her "worthy of being loved". It's made even worse by the fact that this can be interpreted as a metaphor for physical and sexual abuse, with the pounding and nudity imagery. Later on, she falls heavily in love with Momoka and becomes a lesbian, going as far as to try to rape Ringo (Momoka’s sister) because she looks so much like Momoka (and Momoka has long been deceased.) | |

Ellen Hopkins' novel Impulse uses this trope. After being raped by his mother's boyfriend at age 8 and later men in jail, Tony assumes himself to be gay for many years. However, he later finds himself attracted to and begins a relationship with a young woman. At any rate, it's heavily implied that Tony was not born gay, but "never really had the chance" not to be. | |

This seems to be the case with Jeremy from A Cruel God Reigns. A the beginning of the series, he has a girlfriend and has no interest in other men that he shows, but the longer Greg sexually and physically abuses him, the more interested in men (or more specifically, Ian), he becomes, although he does have feelings for Nadia for a short period. Eventually Jeremy becomes a Hooker with a Heart of Gold because of his blatant post-traumatic stress disorder and consequential drug addiction, which probably doesn't help him out either. If anything, Jeremy is probably bisexual. | |

It's briefly implied that she may actually be bisexual when there seems to be mutual attraction between her and Barney when they're in the showers together, but it never goes any further. When the novel was adapted for the TV series of Hannibal Word of God says the part where it caused her lesbianism (though she is still a lesbian) was specifically left out because of the Unfortunate Implications. | |

The Vagina Monologues has a rather controversial piece where a character is raped by men multiple times as a child... but becomes a lesbian because she is "healed" when seduced (while underage, making it statutory rape) by another woman. This piece is censored to remove lines like her declaring the experience to be "good rape" and raising her age from 13 to 16, mostly because in the view of the monologues, this experience is a good thing. Some performances cut this monologue entirely because for many people, it makes the rest of the play almost unwatchable. | |

While she's bisexual for most of the story, Blackjack of Fallout: Equestria - Project Horizons becomes deathly afraid of stallions after she's brutally gang raped as part of a Trauma Conga Line that involved her horn getting smashed off, her legs nailed to the floor, necessitating them to be sawed off, and eventually dying of her injuries and only getting better due to a scientist character giving her her prosthetics, leaving said scientist as a Brain in a Jar. When she leaves the group for a while as a part of it she has to physically restrain herself from lashing out against another stallion she meets when he playfully slaps her behind. She gets better, though. | |

Revolutionary Girl Utena: When Ruka Tsuchiya came into the picture, one of the actions he took to try "freeing" Juri from her Shiori-centered self-destructive spiral was attempting to molest her. Taking in consideration that Juri is a lesbian or at very least super-fixed on a female, this deal can be easily seen as Ruka using borderline corrective rape on Juri: she's obsessed with a girl, he sexually assaults her, she drops said "obsession" and turns to him. (Or would turn since Ruka is dead by the end of the episode). Immediately after the sexual assault, Ruka reveals that he's gotten hold of Juri's locket, then drops it to the floor and threatens to crush it under his foot — which begs the unsettling question of when and how he got it off her in the first place, especially since Juri always keeps her locket under her clothes. Even more disturbingly, there's some speculation that Ruka actually did rape Juri in Akio's car. Between the abovementioned sexual assault and the car scene, Juri challenges Ruka to a fencing duel and says that if she loses, she'll do what he wants. She does lose. Later, in the dueling arena just before Ruka draws Juri's sword, she acts strangely quiet and subdued. Think about it. Granted, the theory relies heavily on the assumption that every Akio Car scene is a stand-in for sex (and Juri's car scene is one of the least sexualized of them all) but the possibility is still there, and it's completely horrifying. |

Possibly the reason for Jarl's sexuality in Brent Weeks' The Night Angel Trilogy. Early in the first book, as a child, Jarl is raped by Rat (or at least such is implied), and upon his return to the plot as an adult, it is revealed that he is bisexual. | |

Okane ga Nai: In an example of rape leading to romance, Ayase is raped by Kanou and is made a Sex Slave. He's terrified of Kanou at first but Kanou's soft spot and love towards him makes him fall in love with Kanou as well, partially because he Desperately Craves Affection. As of chapter 37, it's made pretty clear that Ayase has developed into being If It's You, It's Okay for Kanou. | |

Chick Tracts have this trope up the ass. To the point that the change in sexual preference is explained by possession by a "demon of defilement" because of rape that occurred during their childhood. It's not just men turning gay, but it usually is. | |

Rocky from Too Much Information (2005) at least had the false memory of her father raping her put into her head by suggestion, and likely was raped by one or more of his friends. As a result, as becomes clear when she sleepwalks into a male roommate's bed, her bisexuality is repressed by a complex over the idea of sex with men, until she ultimately starts a relationship with a male-identified full-time transvestite (who, interestingly, had previously identified as gay, with no such "excuse") who lets her, uniquely, refer to him with female pronouns. | |

Suzu from the Peacemaker Kurogane manga. He was "adopted" by a rich old man and raped. This apparently caused him to become gay (as well as Ax-Crazy). It's pretty obvious when he wears nail polish, effeminate clothes, lipstick, flirts with men, and acts like a Stalker with a Crush with Tetsunosuke. | |

Relatively justified in Ilivais X, because for Iriana, straight sex would feel the same as getting repeatedly electrocuted for anyone else (due to inverting reception of pain and pleasure), which she found out the hard way. Several times. Before the age of 15. It makes sense that for her to enjoy any kind of intimacy at all, it would have be with a girl simply because the painful aspect isn't even possible. | |

In The Kid: Abdul is raped first by an older boy in the foster home he was sent to and then several times by two Pedophile Priests at the orphanage he is sent to. He, in turn, rapes some of the boys in the orphanage. The sad part is that he doesn't even realize what he's doing is wrong; he believes what he's doing is an act of love and that they wanted to do it (the first one actually did, but the other ones definitely did not) | |

The victims of Woody Goodman on Veronica Mars. Of the 4 we know about, one was definitely gay, another was sexually "on the fence" (as another character put it), and one... well... it's subject to Alternate Character Interpretation, but there's definitely subtext. The fourth victim we know about (or was strongly implied) doesn't have his sexuality brought into the whole thing, but he was less important than the first 3. | |
