Make the Kinsey Scale a Thing Again

About a year ago, we put out a piece on conversion therapy and bisexual responsiveness. If you haven’t read it, we think it would be in your best interest to do so ASAP. And if you have, go ahead a re-read it. It would be well worth your time.

In that piece, we mentioned the Kinsey Scale, developed by the “sexologist” Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s. Kinsey, in addition to being disturbingly perverse, was something of a quack doctor, who—relying on scientifically (and ontologically) suspect methodologies—claimed to have made important “discoveries” about human sexuality.
