"Bent" can mean many different things, you have to place it in context.

In the context I was using it (trying to straighten SA out), it simply
meant that people aren't going to be able to straighten him out:

can't take a hint and continue to try to
straighten him out.  He's permanently bent


Didn't think that it could be that murky, following "straighten him out"
that quickly in the posting.  But then again, this is coming from SA,
the King of Murkiness, I shouldn't be surprised.

Does "bent" mean in the US what is does in the UK?

What does it mean in the UK?  In Norway, the Norwegian equivalent of
"bent" would mean drunk or gay.
