Bloody fools, all of you. Blame Kinsey? Hah! Blame the Average American, who, ultimately having chomped Adam's apple, is as hard fallen as the rest of the world. Kinsey only baked us the Apple Pie, we stole the recipe and gorged ourselves.

The fault lies not in our stars, Horatius, but in ourselves.

You need to clarify. Who's blaming Kinsey for what?

Kinsey's greatest disservice in this arena was his totally offhand estimate that homosexuals constitute 10% of the population. That would make them a significant minority along the lines of the Black or Hispanic population. Kinsey's interviews only showed 3-4% admitted homosexuals and he tripled this number to adjust for the number of "closet cases" must have been in his interviewees. One of his assistants later said, though, that they became so proficient in their interview techniques that the interviewer had already deduced the subject's sexual orientation through indirect questioning, and broached the subject with the question, "When did you first know that you were homosexual?"

Perhaps to promote the alternate lifestyle, Kinsey continued to estimate the rate of homosexuality as 10% of the population--a figure that is often used to this day. But a few years ago, a major US magazine funded a massive University study that interviewed 64,000 Americans about a number of aspects of their sexuality. Naturally, the subject of orientation was included. The scientists conducting the interviews were quite surprised that homosexual-bisexual orientation was only reported in 3% of the general population. They double-checked and used other statistical methods to confirm since it deviated (excuse the pun) from the commonly-accepted 10% figure, but 3% held up and is what they published.

One person in 30 is more in line with my experience than one in 10. One in 30 does not constitute a significant minority or one that can wield political clout. The activist 3% Gay minority implies that they speak for this silent 7%, only they don't really exist.

Blame Kinsey?

Nope. I never said a word about Kinsey.

Explain yourself. Your commentary is incoherent at best.
