I was raped by a man a year ago and it cause me to be confused about my sexuality (I think I'm lesbian). Does me being raped make me not a lesbian anymore?

Question

Answer

I understand how being sexually assaulted can cause you to question everything, even yourself. I was raped continuously for two and a half years by someone I trusted. Just know what your sexuality is determined by YOU, not someone who had no business getting inside you in the first place. Time will heal you, and I hope you find love and happiness. 💕

Answer

No hun, if you still prefer girls, then that won't change. If you prefer both, that's okay too. I'm sorry about what happened to you, it's hard to move on from!

Answer

"Lesbian" refers to a woman that is sexually attracted to other women. It's not like the concept of "virginity" which revolves around actual sexual contact.

Answer

Not at all. I was raped by a man, but am a lesbian. The two don't have anything to do with each other.

Answer

You are whatever you say you are. If you are lesbian, then you are lesbian. Thats something only YOU can decide and recognize. 
I am sorry to hear that you went through that. Please know that it wasn't your fault and you are perfect just as you are ❤

Answer

I'm so sorry to hear that that happened to you. Stay strong girl
