Titled “Was Hubbard Sexually Molested as a Child?” Swift’s hypothesis is fascinating because it has long been clear to some of us that Hubbard was a self-repressing gay or bisexual with serious sexual issues that he never resolved, and this strongly affected some of his social engineering theories and policies that he created for Scientology.

Signs of Hubbard’s strongly-repressed homosexuality/bisexuality include his outrageous generalities about gay people in the books Dianetics and Science of Survival (which are common to closeted gays/bisexuals who feel that they need to prove to themselves and to others that they are straight), and his life-long preoccupation with adult-adolescent gay sex that he sporadically mentioned in his Scientology writings, and then made abundantly clear in his 10-volume Mission Earth story written near the end of his life.

When I posted these observations on J. Swift’s thread, I was asked for quotes, so here they are, pulled at random as I skimmed along.
