The article you link doesn't relate to "child rape" or whether rape is "gay".
I think you are conflating two different things or else your comments are just confusing to me.
Potentially offensive also as the crime of rape, and being "gay", are not interconnected.
From ywca site:
https://www.ywcamissoula.org/2000/01/facts-about-men-rape/Excerpts:
"Unfortunately, many people do not realize that men, as well as women, may be sexually assaulted. Many people also wrongly believe that only gay men get raped, and that assaults against men are committed by gay men. Such misconceptions about rape may affect the way males rape survivors are treated, both by peers and professionals."
"Men get raped by other men. Men can also be raped by women."
"Male rapists who rape men are heterosexual in 98% of the cases."
"Both gay men and heterosexual men get raped."
"Men from all parts of society are raped (not just in prisons)."
"Men are less likely to report rape."
"Sexual assault has nothing to do with someone’s present or future sexual orientation. Sexual assault is a crime of violence and power, not of lust or passion."
"Sexual abuse is a crime of violence... Male victims experience the same reactions to the crime as female victims do. Some of these reactions include self-blame, fear, anger, relationship problems, questions about sexuality, addictions and trust issues. Not everyone will experience all of these reactions, nor will they experience them to the same extent."
"Myth: Males are only abused by homosexual men. The majority of sexual offenders are heterosexual males."
"Myth: Males assaulted by another male are, or become, homosexuals. Sexual abuse is not an act of sex, passion or desire; it is a crime of violence."
(NB: I note the above article is dated 2000 but I believe the statements are still accurate).
