Scales, fantasies and Eliza Dushku. In this episode, Grace and Stevie take you all the way back to 1948 when Dr. Albert Kinsey created the Kinsey Scale.
The Kinsey Scale is a widely used index and instrument for measuring heterosexual and homosexual behavior. The Kinsey Scale does not address all possible sexual identities and does not purport to accommodate respondents who identify as non-binary. Contrary to popular belief, Kinsey was not a behaviorist, but granted that sexuality is much broader than simply lived behavior. The Kinsey Scale is dated, yet remains popular in many contexts. The original Kinsey Reports, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior of the Human Female (1953), are broadly agreed to be historically significant.
In 1948, Dr. Alfred Kinsey developed a scale for measuring human sexuality which determined whether a person was gay, straight, or something in between.
Kinsey was openly bi and had an open marriage with his wife, Clara. They both had many partners throughout their marriage. Clara knew about Kinsey's bisexuality and supported his numerous relationships with men.
In 2012, Kinsey was inducted into the Legacy Walk in Chicago celebrating LGBT history and people, and in 2019, he was one of the original 50 “pioneers, trailblazers, and heroes” memorialized on the National LGBT Wall of Honor inside the Stonewall National Monument at the Stonewall Inn in New York.
An official Kinsey “test” does not exist, which is contrary to popular belief and many tests across the web. The original Kinsey research team assigned a number based on a person’s sexual history.
