For me, and i know you were just waiting for my contribution here...
it boils down to this...the trauma, and the legitimate source of the suit is the molestation, which is inarguably a tort under the law as well as a criminal act. from the sound of it, he sought relationships with both men and women, but had intense shame and guilt around his gay relationships...which if they were associated with abuse a fairly predictable response. I think a court would have a hard time coming up with a finding of damage specifically for the claim of a changed orientation, but surely could for the abuse.
