I am a man who has been raped. Am I gay?
We rarely talk about the rape of men. This means that men who are raped can struggle to understand what has happened to them. One of the issues that heterosexual men who are raped can struggle with is their own sexual orientation. In this video Dr Nina Burrowes explains why being raped does not mean that you are gay.
