Abnormal - What a Silly Idea
» Prudes & Puritans
Oh, the silly, never-ending effort to demonize Alfred Kinsey:
I was surprised to find that [Judith] Reisman’s not alone. A Web search yields any number of Web sites created by religious groups who want to discredit Kinsey. I wondered why, and I asked Kunkel. His reply was that people who want to liberalize laws on sexual behavior use Kinsey’s research as ammunition.
One consequence is that we no longer outlaw sodomy, he said, which [Bernie] Kunkel obviously thinks was a mistake. “Kinsey acts like this is a natural or a normal thing, but it is not, really,” he said, speaking of homosexual acts.
Kinsey, who experimented with homosexuality himself, took a dim view of people who argued that certain sexual behaviors were abnormal.
