From timesonline.co.uk:

A NEW YORK socialite who claims that he was molested by a priest as a child is to sue the Roman Catholic Church for £2.8 million, alleging that the ordeal made him grow up gay.

J. David Enright IV says that Father Joseph Romano sexually abused him at a Christian youth camp in the early 1960s, when he was seven years old, telling him that it was “a rite of passage”.

Were it not for the repeated assaults, which are said to have taken place behind a log cabin after evening prayers, Mr Enright, 51, is convinced that he would be straight.

“I believe that my life would be very different now. I’d probably be married, living in Greenwich with four children in boarding school,” he said.

“Romano bent my life.”

Why not sue for the real damages of abuse; the damages that do fuck with your life and your mind and affect how you form relationships with other people?

All this sounds like to me is I hate myself and I’d rather blame someone for it than work on fixing it. I’m not being a cold hearted bitch here, I really do hope that J. David Enright finds a way to be happy with who he is. But it’s just not possible to prove that someone made you gay.
