Homosexual seduction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homosexual seduction was a controversial sexological theory suggesting that homosexuality is being spread through intergenerational sex, and that older homosexuals are changing the sexual orientation of previously heterosexual youth by seducing them.[1][2]

The theory originated in the early 20th century's work of German psychologists such as Albert Moll and Emil Kraepelin on adolescent sexuality,[1] was used in the early work attempting to explain the phenomenon of male prostitution.[2] It has subsequently been used in homophobic propaganda and LGBT rights opposition to delay the progress of LGBT rights by portraying homosexuals as "old perverts who prey on children".[3][4]
