I think he beat his son because he suspected homosexuality. I'm serious about that too. A black father back in those days with a mean streak didn't know how to deal with a gay kid with anything but rage.

You got a point there, but I don't think it was about his sexual orientation at that age.
Michael appeared too soft to his cruel father…that needed to be
'hardened'
.
Result is the same, as
Donna
aka
Gemini
already said in the OP:
Traumatized kids become disturbed and unhappy adults.
If Michael Jackson would've become the super star he was without his sad childhood, we'll never know.
