Since I had not seen that term before I will paste the definition for others:
Corrective rape is a criminal practice, whereby homosexual individuals, both lesbian women and gay men, are raped by persons of the opposite sex, sometimes under supervision by members of their families or local communities, purportedly as a means of "curing" them of their sexual orientation.
