Its not a belief. Its an observation. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but with zero evidence at all the only position one can take is of disbelief until facts prove otherwise.
If well reasoned theories posit somethings existence, but proof cannot be supplied, then you can be an agnostic.
Simply saying 'Anything is possible, i guess' is meaningless drivel. Nobody believes in unicorns for a reason. No proof.

Could it not be that social norms keep a lot of people in the closet, and those molestations serve as a catalyst to make some more open about it? Living as a gay person is a choice, yes.. They don't
have to do it. The attractions are not a choice. And if it were, how many people do you think would have chosen the ostracism and stigmatization of being gay? Such an amazing choice, especially in the past when you'd be put to death/imprisoned/castrated/tortured/etc for doing it. Very, very few would ever choose that.
All of that is irrelevant, though, since what two consenting adults do to each other is, quite simply, none of your business.
Oh, and if you want more fun facts.. Homophobes show more signs of arousal when shown pictures of naked people of their sex. Seems many are just in the closet and do not like it.
