The Kinsey scale does not say everyone is a little gay. There is still the category of 0, in which you are exclusively heterosexual.

While it doesn't support her general view, it could support the idea that most people are in some way homosexual.

First you have to prove that most people are not zeros.

Last I learned about it, most studies did point to the idea that almost everyone fell into the categories 1-5 rather than the extremes 0 and 6, but all I can really say on the matter is what I learned in class about it. Besides that, I got nothing.

Basically, we don't always get the normal distributions we so long for. Beyond that, her one liner did nothing to get at the heart of the issue. I'm not saying that most people are zeros, but that it is unfair to say all people are a little gay.

Oh, that too. It's unfair to the zeros that exist to automatically assume that they must be partially homosexual.

Everyone is a little gay.
You're a little gay. Also, that scale has various criticisms. For example, I can't remember the name of the guy that invented the scale, but he didn't use random sampling. He said that random sampling would lead to some sort of bias that would basically cancel out random sampling, but he's still criticized for it.


How would random sampling lead to a bias? o.O

I am also curious about this. like, isn't random pretty much the definition of unbiased?

I have no clue. All I know is that Kinsey said that random sampling would cause bias in his experiment.

Plus on that scale it's equally as correct to say everyone is a little bit streight and then demand that all those who are homosexual be strieght again and we've seen how well that has worked over time...
Okay, I know this is totally off topic from what you guys were talking about, but I just had a general question about this whole issue. Does it seem to anyone else that the two sides of this argument are talking about two totally separate issues?

Pro-Gay Marriage: homosexual couples should be given the legal right to wed.
Anti-Gay Marriage: the sanctity of marriage (i.e. "a commitment between one man and one woman, in the presence of God" ) should be preserved, thus disallowing a male/male, or female/female pairing. (random thought: Why do they have a problem with homosexual marriages, but not athiest, agnostic, wiccan, pagan, shinto, budhist, etc. marriages?)

Thus:
Pro-Gay Marriage = legal issue
Anti-Gay Marriage = religious issue

Considering the 1st Amendment, it seems to me that these are two completely different topics, whose only connection is a word with more than one definition.

Thoughts?

And the X in representation of asexuality.

Agree. A word with more than one definition, definitely.
With all due respect,

Did you read those Bible verses with the intention of picking out ways to say that they don't condemn homosexuality? Because you know, you look hard enough at anything, and you can find what you want.

Did Paul really have to spell it out for you?

You have to think of the context of the situation. He was writing to people who would know what he was talking about, who he wouldn't have to spell it out for. Therefore, he didn't need to shout, "Hey I'm talking about homosexuality!" He just needed to allude to it.

I agree with you as far as Leviticus is concerned. Old Testament law no long applies, however-
I hold to what 1 Corinthians and Romans says.
And I implore you, with love, and not judgment, to take another look. Read it again, without reading between the dozens of lines that can be placed between the words.

Honestly, I have bisexual friends, and I have no problem with homosexual people. I will love you, whoever you are, no matter what- and so will God; however, there are rules, realize this.
