One of the biggest frauds of the last 100 years was Alfred Kinsey. His “research” was merely his own perversions wrapped in scientific veneer. His claim–that ten percent of the country is gay–has been disproven.

The Alan Guttmacher Institute–the research arm of Planned Parenthood and definitely no ally of social conservatives–could not even reproduce that figure. Breitbart is pointing out that in that in Britain, they are not reproducing that figure either.

As for my feelings about homosexuals, Vox sums it up (emphasis mine):

Despite having a) played in a band signed to a gay music label, and b) having a gay fan club, I have never subscribed to the myth that ten percent of the population is gay. First, because I don’t trust round numbers. Second, because of the thousands of people I’ve met over time, far fewer than 10 percent of them were not normally oriented despite the fact that I was acquainted with a lot more gay men and bisexual women than nearly anyone else I knew.

And, of course, no one could ever provide a credible citation. I’ve always assumed the correct number was around 2 percent, which appears to be more in line with the statistical reality. The fact is that gays tend to lead very troubled lives, not because of homophobia or the contempt of the normally-oriented as many would like to believe, but because abnormality of any kind is not easy. Gays do not deserve approval for their inclinations but neither do they merit contempt. I think the correct response to someone announcing they are gay is “I’m sorry”, not because homosexuality is hateful, but because it’s not an easy journey through life.
