Why should 1.7% dictate homosexual marriages?

Kinsey interviewing a woman. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) How many gays are there in the United States? Gary Gates has an idea but acknowledges pinpointing a solid figure remains an elusive task. Mr. Gates is demographer-in-residence at the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy , a think tank based at the University of California, Los Angeles . For the institute ’s 10th anniversary this week, he took a scholarly stab at answering the question that has been debated, avoided and parsed since sex researcher Alfred Kinsey said in the 1940s that 10 percent of the men he surveyed were “predominantly homosexual.” Mr. Gates ‘ best estimate, derived from five studies that have asked subjects about their sexual orientation, is that the nation has about 4 million adults who identify as being homosexual, representing 1.7 percent of the 18-and-over population. That’s a much lower figure than the 3 percent to 5 percent that has been the conventional wisdom in the last t...

10% of population gay myth

Image via Wikipedia Dr. Judith Reisman , a professor at Liberty University School of Law , debunked the 10% myth first proposed by psychologist Alfred Kinsey . Kinsey, she found, drew heavily on prison inmates and frequenters of homosexual bars for his surveys, though he presented them as indicative of the general population.  Moreover, evidence suggests Kinsey’s research on infants subjected the children to sexual torture.The figure, according to experts, is a gross exaggeration pushed by homosexual activists with a view to normalizing homosexuality.  Statistics Canada   reports  the prevalence in the country of homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals to be 1.5% of the population. Commenting to LifeSiteNews about D&P’s use of the statistic, Dr. Reisman said, “These fraudulent statistics have infected the world’s people.” “This is the same psychopathic source, Dr. Kinsey, who claimed children are sexual from birth, having directed the sexual torture of up to 2,035...

Is 10% of the Population Homosexual?

It’s often said that if you repeat something loud enough and long enough, people will begin to believe it. Such is the case with the claim that 10% of the population is homosexual. Though it’s commonly believed, the figure is rarely questioned. The media only contributes to the problem. It seems like every movie and television show includes the obligatory homosexual character(s). It’s no surprise, then, that American perception of the prevalence of homosexuality is skewed. A Gallup poll in 2002 found that Americans estimated the percentage of homosexuals to be 21.5% of the population, a startling number that would even shock pro-gay advocates! The origin of the 10% statistic is from a 1948 book by Alfred Kinsey called Sexual Behavior in the Human Male . Kinsey concluded from his research that “10 percent of the males are more or less exclusively homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55.” [1] But just who are “the males” in Kinsey’s research? It turns out tha...
